IF YOU WANT A COLLEGE EDUCATION, MIDLAND COLLEGE CAN HELP!!!

Midland College provides financial assistance, in the form of academics or need grants-in-aid, for virtually every high school graduate who wishes to attend college and needs some financial help. The following pages are scholarships administered by Midland College. There is also grant information.

There also are “work study” opportunities for qualified students that allow them to receive financial assistance by working up to 15 hours per week on the campus   in various departments. The work-study students often receive valuable on-the-job training and references from these opportunities.

By visiting with the Midland College counseling staff early, high school students can learn of the requirements for financial assistance. They also can determine which courses are required to achieve their own career goals.

Those students interested in applying for grants-in-aid should apply as early as possible. Please remember that the deadlines shown for specific grants offered by or administered by Midland College are the 1st dates to make an application. Those who make applications earlier are more likely to be approved.
