Student eligibility for financial assistance is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Mayland Community College Scholarship Application. All information received in the MCC Financial Aid Office will remain confidential. Awards are made according to federal, state, and local regulations. A student’s need is determined by subtracting the student aid index (SAI) from the total educational cost (COA). Information submitted may be subject to documented verification. The school reserves the right to review and make adjustments to awards if the student becomes over awarded, if the student’s resources change, or if there are other changes in the student’s financial need.

Students receiving Title IV federal aid who drop out before the 60% point of the semester are required to pay back a percentage of the aid. Failure to repay will result in the inability to register at Mayland Community College until the debt is resolved. Students who are in default of a student loan or have received a Pell Grant overpayment are ineligible for Title IV aid, per Federal Regulations, until the debt is resolved.
