Welcome to the Financial Aid Office At Middlesex Community College we are committed to assisting students and their families in meeting the cost of a college education. Our goal is to ensure that there are no financial barriers that prevent you from earning a college degree or certificate. Financial aid is easier to apply for now, more than ever before, using the federal financial aid web site to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Most enrolled students can qualify; you can be full time or part time and receive federal and state financial aid. The Financial Aid Office provides personalized service to our students. Every student is assigned a financial aid advisor who is available to answer any questions or address any concerns that you may have about financing your education. Please feel free to call us or stop by the Lowell or Bedford office with any questions. Financial Aid can help you pay for the costs of attending MCC, including tuition and fees, books, and other costs (living expenses, transportation, and personal costs). Many MCC students receive some sort of financial aid, so we encourage you to apply today! The types of financial aid include grants and scholarships, loans, and work study. Some aid does not need to be paid back, some aid must be repaid, and some aid takes the form of employment. To receive financial aid, you must be in a degree or certificate program, demonstrate financial need and maintain satisfactory academic progress. To find out whether you are a candidate to receive financial aid, see the complete list of eligibility requirements. You can complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at any time after January 1 to receive funds for the following academic year, but you should apply by May 1st, if possible, since some grant funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. You must complete a FAFSA each academic year.
