Thank you for submitting a scholarship application!

We will notify all applicants by phone, letter or email within two weeks of the scholarship deadline about whether they have been awarded a scholarship. As a standard practice, we waive all late fees for applicants who do not receive a scholarship and we honor any early registration discounts, if offered. Questions? Contact us.

Next Steps:

  1. Have you registered for the workshop? Make a workshop course selection and register using the menu above. Be sure to go all the way through the checkout process so we can hold a seat for you. Important: To avoid paying the full registration fee upon checkout, choose “Summer Workshop: Bill Now/Pay Later” as your payment method at checkout. Do not input credit card information.
  2. Work with a parent to complete our permission forms.
  3. Pay the refundable workshop registration deposit of $25 to hold your place in your preferred class. Students/parents may request the deposit be waived for a documented financial need.*
    • Mail deposit payable by check or money order to MIPA, 404 Wilson Road Room 305, East Lansing, MI 48824, or pay online via credit card here.
    • Please note: Deposits paid online must be in a completely separate transaction from the program registration
  4. Launch a SponsorMe campaign! SponsorMe is our fundraising website. Students can create a campaign and share it through their network of family and friends to raise money. There is no cost to use MIPA’s fundraising website and we do not pass along any processing fees; every dollar raised is applied to the registration fee.

*NOTE: The $25 refundable deposit holds your place in the workshop course of your choice until scholarships are decided (some courses otherwise may fill up by that time). Students/parents may request the deposit be waived for a documented financial need. Please include a written request with your application. The deposit will be refunded to you if you receive a full scholarship or if you choose not to attend the workshop and let us know by June 30. It will be kept as a down payment on your registration fee if you do not receive a scholarship and still wish to attend the workshop or forfeited if you fail to let us know if you are coming by June 30.
