Financial Aid at MICA

<p>My daughter is currently a junior at MICA. They are quite generous with scholarships. Here is a link to one of their scholarship pages:</p>

<p>[Competitive</a> Scholarships for Entering Freshmen | MICA](<a href=“http://www.mica.edu/Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Undergraduate_Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Scholarships_and_Financial_Aid/Competitive_Scholarships/Competitive_Scholarships_for_Entering_Freshmen.html]Competitive”>MICA)</p>

<p>As you can see they have a special scholarship just for Scholastic winners, so the information by woodwinds is not correct. I found that MICA gave about the same amount as Pratt, more than Massarts, and much more than RISD. </p>

<p>Also, they offered small amounts several times, so it wouldn’t be so wise to accept them too early. They also offered AP credits from a special portfolio application to accepted students - this can help with all the credits you need and maybe save some money. They offer returning students extra scholarships - again based on portfolio submissions - but the amounts are not huge (up to $1200 or so).</p>
