To help students meet the financial obligations of college attendance, Mohave Community College administers a varied and comprehensive financial aid program. Financial aid is designed to bridge the gap between the costs of attending college and what students and their families are expected to contribute. Citizens, or eligible non-citizens of the United States, may apply for assistance regardless of sex, age, color, religion, marital status, national origin, pregnancy related conditions, handicap, or veteran disability.
The U.S. Department of Education, through MCC, offers five major student financial aid programs:
• Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG.) • Federal Work Study (FWS). • Federal Direct Student Loans (FDSL) includes subsidized (SDSL) and unsubsidized (UFDSL) and Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).
