How Federal Aid Is Awarded
When you complete the FAFSA and indicate Miami International University of Art & Design as one of your school choices, we will be able to receive an Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) electronically.

The ISIR will contain an expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is determined by a set federal formula and relates to the amount that you might be expected to pay for direct and indirect costs for one academic year. Miami International University of Art & Design uses the EFC, in relation to your costs, to determine your eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal SEOG, the Perkins Loan, and the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan. These aid types are referred to as "need-based" aid.
