Military Family Education Award
Value—Equal to the difference between nonresident and resident tuition.
Eligibility—New undergraduate students who, at the time they apply to Michigan Tech, are considered nonresident students and are children under the age of 24 or the spouse of an active duty member of a Uniformed Service (as defined by Title 10 US Code) including:
- Air Force
- Army
- Coast Guard
- Marines
- Navy
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps (NOAA Corps)
- United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC)
- National Guard and Reserve members activated for 365 days or greater
Currently enrolled undergraduate students with this Uniformed Service relationship may petition the university scholarship committee for MFEA consideration. Previously awarded assistance may be reduced or cancelled for enrolled MFEA recipients.
Duration—This award will remain with the student for the entirety of their undergraduate education so long as they remain in good academic and disciplinary standing, even if the active duty status of the family member changes.
Exclusion—Recipients of the MFEA are not eligible for other institutional general fund awards such as the National Scholars Program or Alumni Legacy Award. They are, however, eligible for need based aid and/or private scholarship funds.
Verification—Verification includes presenting Official Orders or Military ID cards to Michigan Tech's Admissions Office prior to the beginning of classes.
Effective—Beginning Summer Term 2008
