FINANCIAL SERVICES

The Make-Up Designory (MUD) Financial Aid Department can provide information and assistance to students concerning a variety of finance options for their educations. The primary purpose for financial aid is to provide assistance to students who may not be able to afford to attend classes through their own means. By deferring educational costs through grants and loans, students can focus their efforts on education, and on developing a broad variety of professional skills that can be used for their future careers.

MUD understands that financing an education can be one of the most complex issues that students face. For this reason, MUD’s Financial Aid staff is available for all students and families who would like to discuss their financing options. The Financial Aid Office is open from Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.. Additional assistance and updates can be found at MUD's Financial Aid web site: http://finaid.mud.edu. Prospective students should be sure to select the campus at which they intend to enroll for correct information.

HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION

Make-Up Designory (MUD) would like to help students traveling from other states and regions make an easy transition to New York City. The New York Branch Campus has limited housing available to Make-Up Artistry II students. In addition, MUD has put together a list of places where students can begin their searches for housing options. For more information, please consult an Admissions Advisor.

MUD strongly recommends that students begin their housing searches well in advance of beginning school. Metropolitan New York City is one of the most expensive places to live in the United States, and available housing can be scarce. Students need to plan ahead, in order to ensure that they have given themselves enough time to secure acceptable housing.

When beginning the housing search, please note that there are many easy and accessible public transportation commuter options to and from the island of Manhattan. The city, outlying boroughs, and communities across the river in New Jersey are well served by a number of subway, commuter train, and commuter bus lines. Students who intend to bring their own cars should be aware that daily parking is extremely challenging in New York City, and monthly parking is limited and expensive. Students may be able to secure spaces in garages that are owned by larger management companies. Such garages charge approximately $275.00 – 600.00 per month to rent a space.
