Financial Aid Overview

MIAT understands the stress that paying for college can create. That’s why we connect our students with financial aid options so you can focus on what matters: getting hands-on training from technology experts.

The goal of the Financial Aid Department at MIAT College of Technology is to assist eligible students in applying for and receiving financial assistance. Financial aid is available to those who qualify. All financial aid paperwork must be submitted to the Financial Aid Department prior to class start (unless an extension is granted by the Financial Aid Department) or the student may be placed on a cash payment plan.

The Financial Aid Department can provide the following information:

• Available financial assistance including information on all federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs
• The deadline for submitting applications for financial aid programs that are available
• Details regarding cost of attendance and refund policy
• The criteria used to select financial aid recipients
• The formula to determine financial need
• The resources considered in calculation of need
• The amount of financial need that is met

In order to apply for federal financial aid funding you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid comes in the form of government assistance and private sources to help students pay for their education costs. Most students take advantage of more than one type of aid, combining grants, scholarships, and student loans.

For more information on funding sources and qualifications, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 800-447-1310 (Canton) or 888-547-7047 (Houston).
