Milwaukee Direct Admit
The easy – and stress-free – path from MPS to college
Applying to a two-year or four-year college can seem complicated. But MPS, UWM and MATC have partnered to make the application and admission process simple and stress-free.
The Milwaukee Direct Admit program lets all MPS high school juniors apply – for free – to MATC and UWM with just one five-minute form. Students who apply and graduate from high school are guaranteed admission to either college.
The only information needed is the student’s name, their student ID and where they want to apply. After completing the form, students will hear from MATC and/or UWM in about a month regarding next steps.
Students are not committed to attending MATC or UWM, and still must accept their admissions offer to enroll. They’ll also be responsible for tuition and other costs to attend college.
Many financial aid options are available to students. That includes the $500 Smart Start scholarship program. It offers success coaching and programs to help with the transition to UWM or MATC.
