If you are interested in a need-based scholarship, the deadline to apply is February 15, 2025
In order for us to consider your application, a $300 deposit must be received immediately after you've been accepted to the program. Please check your @mica.edu email on a regular basis for important communications after you've submitted your application.
If you have questions about the deposit, please contact Mike Rini, Associate Director, Education Abroad: mrini@mica.edu
The Office of International Education, in collaboration with the MICA Office of Student Financial Aid, are pleased to offer eligible applicants need-based scholarship. Scholarship eligibility and amounts are determined by the Office Student Financial Aid based on each student's unique financial need code.
Students who qualify for need-based financial aid at MICA, may apply and the scholarship application is built into the program application. Students are advised that they must be fully prepared and responsible, financially speaking, to pay for the entire program out-of-pocket (program fee, art supplies, airfare, visa, etc., etc.), as a scholarship award is not guaranteed. Scholarship amounts merely help to subsidize a fraction of the program costs - scholarship award amounts are not substantial enough to subsidize the entire amount of the summer program, and therefore, applicants are expected to understand this before they apply.
If you are interested in a need-based scholarship, the deadline to apply is February 15, 2025 - this is an absolute deadline. Applications will not be considered after this date. Award amounts are based on the number of students who apply and the availability of funding.
Please contact Mike Rini, Associate Director, Education Abroad, for further details - mrini@mica.edu
Contact Mike Rini (mrini@mica.edu), Office of International Education, for details regarding how to obtain a student visa. Obtaining a student visa will depend on which country your passport was issued, and the respective bilateral immigration/travel agreements your home country has with the program's host country.
If a visa IS required, all participants must obtain the proper entry visa (no exceptions) neither too early, nor too late based on the respective program dates.
The Office of International Education recommends that all prospective participants begin their research on this topic early to identify any caveats that might otherwise prevent them from obtaining the required visa type to enter the host country.
