Options to pay for college
Mayland Community College's Financial Aid Office is committed to assisting students with the costs of attending college. Scholarships, grants, part-time work, and childcare are a few types of aid available to qualified students. There is an application process for financial aid. We encourage all students to apply for financial assistance.
You should apply for financial aids at least 9 weeks before semester registration for Pell grant funding! Also, you must have all GED, high schoolor other college transcripts on file in the Registrar's Office to avoid delays in processing your financial aid.
How do I fill out the Scholarship Application?
Dr. Jeannette Murray provides a helpful podcast on how to fill out the forms to be eligible for scholarships at Mayland here.
Important financial aid changes
The appeals process for students whose financial aid has changed due to issues with academic progress has changed. You must submit a form (download it here) for review of your appeal, and you must document your reasons for the appeal. If you have questions, please contact us.
Schedule changes could affect financial aid awards
Please be aware that any schedule adjstments made after the allowed schedule adjustment period could cause a financial aid award to be reduced or eliminated for a student. Financial aid is based on enrollment status. Also, it's the student's responsibility to contact his/her instructor if the student has missed the first day of class, but still plans to attend that class. The instructor will otherwise submit a "No Show" form on the absent student and financial aid will be removed for that class.

Childcare
The Mayland Community College (MCC) Child Care Project is a state grant funded through North Carolina Community College System. The Child Care Project Grant's primary purpose is to provide assistance for children of student-parents attending Mayland Community College, who otherwise would be unable to attend school. Full- or part-time students who are enrolled at MCC for nine (9) or more credit hours may be eligible for these limited budget funds.
Awards are made based upon a completed application date and established ranking criteria. MCC Child Care Project requires that all licensed centers or registered homes used by the Child Care Project furnish proof of registration or licensing by the state of North Carolina. Please contact Martha Huskins at extension 209, (828) 765-7351 or 1-800-4-MAYLAND or by e-mail (mhuskins@mayland.edu) for more information or an application.
