Narrative:
Aircraft X departed cid after completing practice IFR approach; while working departure radar identification-ed them and asked intentions. Aircraft X wanted to depart cid and fly back to alo IFR; I asked requested altitude and they requested 3;000 feet. I put aircraft X on course to alo and 3;000 feet. Workload increased exponentially due to oshkosh overflights and standard IFR arrivals/ departures. At time of this event easily 10+ on a single scope at a time all requesting different things due to low ceilings and traffic. Aircraft X was enroute to alo which has an MVA of 3;400 feet in his flight path. I noticed his exact flight path led him east of the MVA at 3;400 feet; and by the time he reached about 3 miles from the MVA; I issued a climb to 4;000 feet to keep him at a safe altitude. He went slightly inside the 3 mile mark under MVA altitude but above obstruction altitude; and made the climb past 3;400 feet by the time he was 90 degrees away from the obstruction and flying away from it. No accidents or further developments occurred; higher workload than standard due to oshkosh event traffic funneling in. Nothing to recommend; higher than average workload with several abnormal request led to not seeing the issue before it happened.
