Parents & Supporters Resources
We appreciate the significant impact that you, as parents and supporters, have on your student’s education. Whether your student is looking for a college to call home for the first time, or currently attending another college and looking for a better fit, we are ready to tell you all about Midland University. At Midland, it is our mission to inspire people to learn and lead in the world with purpose, and we can’t wait to help your student find their purpose in life. Enrollment at Midland is quick, easy, and straightforward.
We’re here to help, and to help you and your student answer some questions about going to college, we have put together a list of the top questions below.
Midland University offers over 30 undergraduate programs and features small classes, caring professors, and a team of professional advisors dedicated to students' success. Our hands-on learning approach allows students to build the skills necessary to succeed in whatever career paths they choose. Our four colleges (College of Health Professions, Luther College of Arts & Sciences, Dunklau School of Business, Walker School of Education) provide a variety of professions to choose from and equips students with the knowledge and experience to be ready for whatever profession they choose.
Midland works with students to make college an affordable option. 100 percent of Midland students receive some form of financial aid and offers four different scholarship pathways, whether through athletics, arts, honors, or presidential. The average undergraduate financial aid package (including scholarships, grants work and loans) is $34,745. Numerous outside scholarships are also available to help defer some of the costs of college. Additional money is available through our $2,000 visit grant, as well as on-campus employment opportunities.
Midland wants to ensure every student is equipped to succeed, both in and out of the classroom, which is why there are so many resources available to students for whatever assistance they may need. From study resources to student health, Midland is there through every step of the college journey. Our Student Success Center is a 1-on-1 advising model where a partnership is created between students and advisors to ensure each student has individualized support and resources. The Career Studio works with students to help them find internships and part-time employment to help kickstart their careers.
College is more than just going to class. It’s about getting involved and being part of something. With more than 60 student organizations, ranging from Greek life to affinity groups to honor societies, Midland supports being active and involvement that adds to the college experience. Our close-knit campus promotes engagement and helps students build relationships that will last a lifetime. The possibilities are limitless. Midland also sports the largest athletic program in the state with 33 varsity sports, and with numerous opportunities in the Arts, there are many ways for students to get involved and keep doing what they love.
Many high school students are wondering if college is worth the investment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2023, median income for recent graduates reached $60,000 a year for bachelor’s degree holders aged 22–27. For high school graduates the same age, median earnings are $36,000 a year. Midland aims to ensure students are ready to enter the next phase of their lives and helps them build a strong foundation for what lies ahead. Through academics, hands-on experiences, extracurricular activities, and campus involvement, students discover their purpose as they prepare for their next journey. Within six months of graduation, 95 percent of Midland graduates are either employed or continuing their education. Students are career-ready when they walk out our doors.
Students who are preparing for college want to find the right fit. They want to know that where they spend the next four years of their life is somewhere they are going to feel at home. There are many factors when choosing a college, and Midland University is here to walk your student through the process. One of the first steps is to have your student apply for admission to Midland. This will connect your student with our Admissions team, who can help with any questions you or your student may have. There are numerous scholarships available to students, and you and your student can explore our four scholarship pathways to Midland and find out which one is the best fit.
We think one of the best ways to see what Midland is all about is to come here in person. A visit to campus not only gives students their parents and supporters an insight into Midland, but also provides a $2,000 visit grant ($500 per year) that will aid in the cost of college. Virtual visits are also available and also include a visit grant.

Tips to Show Your Support
Provide Guidance – Students may need guidance when it comes to finances, insurance, communication options, what to bring to campus, and more. This is a great opportunity for parents and supporters to help their students learn life skills and helps empower students to seek out resources and ask questions.
Stay Connected – Communicate with your student via text, phone, and mail. Students love receiving mail and care packages. It is important to establish how and when you may communicate with your student. Campus events also provide an excellent way to connect with your student.
Create an Atmosphere for Open Conversations – Ask open-ended questions, but don’t ask about too many different topics. Be supportive and understanding of your student’s experiences.
Be Knowledgeable About Campus Resources – This website is a great resource for information, and you can help your student navigate college life by becoming a referral source and empowering them to seek out the resources needed to be successful on the college journey.
Trust Your Student – Being a college student is more than working toward a degree. It is also a time for students to discover who they are. Parents and supporters can help by being supportive of decisions, providing guidance through the highs and lows of college life, and providing encouragement along the way.
As your student becomes more independent, be encouraging, empower your child to handle decisions themselves, reassure them that campus resources are available for assistance, and help them when times are tough. Midland University’s faculty and staff are here to help them every step of the way!
