Applying for Financial Aid is Free! Beware of Scams!


As we all know, filing for financial aid is free! Monroe Community College does not endorse or work with any financial aid services that charge a fee of any kind. Therefore, you can confidently remind our students NOT to send anything to these financial aid search services organizations.
