Save Money on Tuition

Paying for college doesn't have to be complicated, and we're here to help.

First of all, two years at Mid saves students $15,500* in tuition vs. the average of Michigan public universities. You're on your way to savings. But, most of Mid's students receive financial aid to offset their college costs even further.

89% of first-time, full-time freshman receive some form of aid to offset costs.
