Financial Aid Application
Federal laws govern the over-awarding of financial aid.
The school and the federal government expect the student and their family to have primary responsibility for paying for the student’s education. The role of the school and the government is to bring costs within reach. Paying for school will entail some sacrifice on the part of the student and their family. MMI determines all need-based Financial Aid utilizing the information provided from the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
Note: Financial Aid requests will not be processed without a complete admissions application package.
