Our Philosophy
A Masters Academy International education is an investment in growth and trajectory—in the classroom, in training, and in life. Financial aid at MAI is need-based.
A small portion of our budget is allocated for merit scholarships, which will be awarded based solely on the strength of completed applications.
We use Clarity
MAI has partnered with Clarity to make the financial aid process streamlined and secure. Clarity provides a mobile-friendly application; most families complete it in under 30 minutes, and tax information can be transferred directly from the IRS (Form 4506-C).
Our committee begins with Clarity’s analysis and then applies MAI policy and available budget to determine a final award.
How to apply for financial aid (Clarity)
Create your account in Clarity and select Masters Academy International
Authorize IRS verification (Form 4506-C) so your 1040/W-2s transfer automatically
Complete the application (you can save and return)
Submit; the Clarity application fee is $65 and covers all Clarity schools; automatic fee waivers apply for qualifying families
Support is available in-app and through Clarity’s help channels
What we consider: the full family picture (income, assets, family size, sibling tuition) and verified essential expenses. Because MAI serves student-athletes and sport-adjacent learners, families may itemize necessary sport costs (e.g., club/league fees, training camps, equipment replacement cycles, required travel).
International applicants: Need-based financial aid is not available for international applicants (non-U.S. citizens/permanent residents).
