What Midland University says it awards for grades and test scores.
Midland gives each student one all-inclusive scholarship, starting from an academic base award set by high school GPA. Its page does not print the amounts.
“Midland University creates a personalized scholarship package for each student to honor and acknowledge their individual gifts and talents, beginning with an academic base award calculated by high school GPA.”

“All verified Teammates are eligible for our unlimited, non-competitive scholarship of $28,000 and one lucky Teammate each year is selected to receive a full tuition scholarship chosen in partnership with the Teammates organization to acknowledge all of their contributions. These awards cannot be combined with any additional Midland University scholarships.”

How we worked these out
The family
A family of four with good parent credit and $500 a month to put toward college, and the savings you pick. In state, the grants are what Midland University reports families at that income got, on average. Your own will differ, and a family with no aid pays close to the full price.
What a SmartTuition plan saves
The difference, over four years, between a SmartTuition plan and the standard approach: savings first, then loans for the rest. It counts loan interest and the federal tax credit. For a family that lives in Nebraska, it also counts Nebraska's tax deduction for money you put through its 529 plan.
The $7,100 in the “Pay less for college” box near the top of this page is the median saving in Midland University's own scenarios. Each scenario is a household that lives in Nebraska, with an income from $45,000 to $200,000 and savings of none, $40,000 or $100,000 in a 529. We price Midland University at the aid it reports for that income.
Every scenario has parents with good credit and $500 a month toward college. The card above uses the same two. A scenario where the parents would borrow more than $65,000 is left out.
The prices by income
- They describe students who got aid.
- “Over $110,000” has no upper limit, so it averages families just over $110,000 with far wealthier ones. A family at $115,000 should expect to pay less than it shows.
- Each range is reported on its own, so the prices do not always rise with income.
Grants from the college
How many first-year students got a grant from Midland University, and the average, are the Department of Education's figures for full-time students who started in 2023-24. They cover every income. The prices after grants already count these grants, so don't take them off again. The Department of Education's page for Midland University →
Where the prices come from
Where the prices come from: Midland University's own 2026-27 tuition, fees, housing and food, from its website, carried forward to 2027 at 4.0% a year. Books are the College Scorecard's. The grants are the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2025-26 figures), carried forward the same way. Each price after grants is the cost less those grants. The average price after grants counts the students who get federal aid. Your own figure will be different.
