“I chose to attend EMCC because of the affordability and closeness to home but more importantly because of the program selection! What I like the most about the school is that the community is really supportive and full of opportunities if you just take them!”
The Office of Financial
Aid attempts to make our college affordable by providing financial assistance and advice to current and prospective students and parents. While students have the primary responsibility for financing their education, there are Federal, State, and college grants, scholarships, loans, and student employment to assist them. Financial aid is based on the student’s annual completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the availability of funds.
Do not wait for the formal acceptance to EMCC before filing your financial aid application!
The 2024-2025 FAFSA has been delayed until December 2023.
Due to some significant changes resulting from the FAFSA Simplification Act, the launch date for the 2024-2025 FAFSA has been delayed from its normal October 1st date. The changes aim to streamline the application process and make the form more user-friendly, as well as expand eligibility for federal financial aid.
While no firm date has been set, we are committed to keeping students and families updated.
In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to be ready for classes in 2024-2025:
Prospective Students:
Current Students:
Beginning in Fall 2020, EMCC requires students to have a personal computer. If you do not have a computer and need help getting one, you may work with financial aid and the business office to make that happen. Check your MyEMCC portal for more information on the basic computing requirements, or contact emccfinaid@mainecc.edu with any questions.
The minimum computing requirements are listed on MyEMCC, under Admissions > Once You’ve Been Accepted.
