Paying for College

大学学位是一项改善你生活的投资，而不是债务负担. MECC’s tuition is thousands less than other local colleges and universities and we do not participate in the federal student loan program. MECC offers financial aid in the form of scholarships and grants which do not need to be repaid. 96%的学生获得经济援助, 高等教育并不一定要付出高昂的代价. Full and part-time students who are enrolled in a program of study at MECC may apply for financial aid to take credit classes.

 

获得联邦学生援助ID （FSA ID） . 这是你签署FAFSA的电子签名.  有关创建FSA ID的更多信息，请观看以下视频 创建自己的FSA ID.

完成联邦学生援助免费申请（FAFSA） www.studentaid.gov 并在申请表上使用MECC学校代码009629. Once you have submitted your FAFSA it typically takes several days for the Department of Education to process and make it available to MECC. You can check the status of your financial aid file at MECC by viewing the Student Center of your MyMECC online account.
