If you have questions about financial aid or need help completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), make an appointment.
Members of our Financial Aid team are available to help answer your questions and guide you through each step of the financial aid process. Students and applicants (those with an MCCC student ID) can connect with a financial assistance coach in a variety of ways:
- Virtual appointment – video, voice-only, text chat, and screen sharing is available
- By phone – call in for an appointment
- In person at our Blue Bell and Pottstown Campuses
If you do not yet have an MCCC student ID, but need FAFSA assistance, we encourage you to apply to the College. You can also call us to schedule an appointment on your behalf.
What you'll need for a FAFSA-focused appointment
- FSA ID and Password – You must have a FSA ID prior to joining the appointment. Visit the FSA ID website to create or retrieve your FSA ID. For assistance, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center by email, live web chat or phone at 1-800-433-3243 (TTY calls: 1-800-730-8913).
- Financial documents
- The FAFSA for the 2021-22 academic year (fall 2021, spring 2022 or summer 2022) requires 2019 financial documents: federal income tax return(s) and/or W-2(s) and/or any other records of money earned (such as foreign income).
- The FAFSA for the 2022-23 academic year (fall 2022, spring 2023 or summer 2023) requires 2020 financial documents: federal income tax return(s) and/or W-2(s) and/or any other records of money earned (such as foreign income).
- Current savings statement, investments, and business or farm assets.
- Social Security Number and/or Alien Registration number, if you have one
- Driver's license number, if you have one
- If you are a dependent, have a parent with you, if possible. Not sure if you are a dependent student? Find out now.
- Parents will also need the items noted above and are required to e-sign the FAFSA using their FSA ID and password, so ensure this is created/retrieved prior to your appointment. If your parent does not have a social security number they will not be able to obtain a FSA ID, and instead will sign a signature page and submit it by mail.
