Graduate Merit & Competitive Scholarship

Through merit-based and competitive scholarship awards, MICA recognizes the talent, determination, and qualifications of the graduate student body.

MICA Graduate Merit Scholarship

Candidates applying for MFA and MA programs are automatically considered for partial merit scholarships, which offer funds covering between 10% and 75% of tuition. Candidates selected for admission are holistically reviewed by the Graduate Scholarship Committee. Scholarship awards are granted on the basis of comprehensive merit, considering all materials submitted with the application. No additional application materials are required. All admitted MFA and MA students receive some form of merit scholarship. 

MICA Competitive Graduate Scholarship

Each year, the Office of Graduate Studies and Graduate Scholarship Committee offer at least one competitive scholarship for admitted MFA and MA students.

The most recent competitive scholarship, the Leslie King Hammond Graduate Fellowship, is scheduled to be offered again in 2021.
