Paying for college doesn't have to be complicated and we're here to help. At Mid, we aren't just focused on your academic goals, we see you for the complete individual that you are and we're here to support you in and out of the classroom to help you succeed.
Maximize your college investment! On average, two years at Mid saves students over $16,000* on their bachelor's degree vs. Michigan public universities. And most of Mid's students receive financial aid to offset their college costs.
Options for aid include federal funding, like grants, loans, or scholarships. Mid also employs many student workers through College-funded positions and the Federal Work-Study Program.
Through one online application, you can apply for all Mid Michigan College scholarships. Scholarship applications for the 2025-2026 Academic Year are open October 5 through May 30! Visit our Scholarship Application for a full list of scholarships and to apply.
High school graduates from the class of 2023 onward are eligible for the Community College Guarantee. Earn your degree tuition-free! Michigan's Community College Guarantee provides a tuition-free path for in-district students, significant financial assistance for out-district students, and an additional $1,000 for students who qualify to cover non-tuition costs like textbooks and transportation.
Are you 25+ and looking to begin or restart your college education? Returning to or beginning school a bit later in life is a bold and brave step—way to go! We know this is a big investment in your future, and the Michigan Reconnect Scholarship can help. This scholarship pays a large portion of tuition and mandatory fees for eligible adults 25 years of age and older who want to pursue a qualifying degree or certificate. For a limited time, Michigan Reconnect is available to students 21 years of age and older.
Your federal financial aid will be determined based on your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which you can fill out at StudentAid.gov. Mid's School Code is 006768.
File soon. It takes a minimum of a few weeks to process financial aid for new students.
