When should I apply?
Applications should be submitted during the admissions and financial aid processes.
MITW applications may take 2 to 4 weeks to process once received by MiLEAP. |
When will I receive the funds?
No actual funds are received. Tuition costs are waived and this will be reflected
on your student account. |
Do I need to reapply every year?
No. As long as you continuously attend the same institution, your tuition waiver status
does not need to be renewed every year. |
Can I be a part-time or dual-enrolled student?
Yes, the MITW can be used for part-time or full-time enrollment during any term. It
can also be received at more than one institution at the same time as long as the
institutions are eligible to use the MITW. |
What if I start school before I apply?
The MITW is not retroactive and does not reimburse for coursework already completed;
therefore, you are encouraged to apply before courses start. |
Can I transfer schools?
Yes. You must have a verified MITW application with MiLEAP before requesting a transfer.
You must then reapply, mark the ‘Continuing Student’ box, and submit to MiLEAP. |
Are other documents needed?
Check with your institution to see if a form must be completed to process the MITW.
Submitting Your FAFSA is highly encouraged. |
