Apply for Financial Aid
How to Apply for Financial Aid
Middlesex uses Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application. Returning families must reapply for financial aid each year; however, barring any significant changes in their financial profile, families can expect approximately the same award from year-to-year. If a family does not apply for aid or qualify for aid upon admission, it is unlikely that the family will receive an aid award in subsequent years, unless there is a significant change in that family’s financial circumstances. In the case of divorce, Middlesex requires that both parents file financial aid forms.
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge.
If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at [email protected] or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
