About this service

Our need-based tuition assistance program helps bridge the difference between the cost to attend MIS and a family's ability to pay.

If MIS is the right place for your child, we want to help make the finances work for your family. We don't think tuition should be a deterrent to any family who wants to join the MIS community. One in three MIS students receive tuition assistance.

How to get help

Submit the Clarity application for 2027/2028; Clarity will make an assessment of need and recommend an amount the family is able to contribute to tuition, and MIS will send an offer of tuition assistance.

Who qualifies

Tuition Assistance is determined by your family's ability to meet educational expenses; it is based on need, not on a willingness or unwillingness to pay. Every family is expected to contribute to the cost of their student's education.
