Let students know: MCC's Financial Aid Online Application Workshop


To facilitate the student’s college experience, the Financial Aid Office at Monroe Community College offers weekly Financial Aid Online Application Workshop for federal aid and NY state aid. We offer the online workshops at three sites: Brighton Campus (Building 7 Room 101), Applied Technologies Center (Room 142), and the Damon City Campus (Student Services 5th Floor).
