How 援助 Packages Are Calculated
MCAD is committed to a need-based financial aid program. Once you complete your FAFSA, your aid is calculated based on your financial need.
All incoming students are analyzed in terms of family income, 家庭规模, and number of college students in the household. This information is collected in the FAFSA and used to calculate an expected family contribution. This is deducted from the total cost of attending MCAD to calculate your demonstrated need.
Notification of Award
New students accepted to MCAD receive award notifications that indicate the programs and amounts of assistance being offered by MCAD. If you do not qualify for need-based aid, you will receive an award notification indicating your eligibility for an Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, in addition to any Merit 奖学金 授予.
