All financial aid applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year to be considered for any financial aid. If you applied for financial aid the previous year you may use your Renewal FAFSA to apply instead of an original FAFSA form. Simply add MACC to the “college release” section (Title IV Code 002491) and your information will be sent to us. Original FAFSA’s are available from your high school guidance office, from the Financial Aid Office, by calling (800)4-FED-AID, or at the FAFSA web site.
Tuition and fees are due by the first day of classes each semester, so the deadline you should adhere to is: “AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.” If you need financial aid to help you pay for your college expenses (tuition, fees, books, housing, meals, etc.), then it is in your best interest to complete all applications as soon as possible.
Financial aid cannot be processed if you miss deadlines; therefore, you must review the financial aid programs and apply timely.
Most financial aid programs cannot be processed during the last week of a semester. Applications and supporting documents must be submitted BEFORE the last week of a semester.
The very last day to submit a FAFSA for the summer semester is June 30. You must complete the 2023-2024 FAFSA for the summer 2024 semester.
