The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required to be completed by all students in order to apply for financial aid. (School Code: 001170).

You are also required to complete the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE application and forward it to the College Board by April 15. (School code: 4054).

All students are required to submit signed copies of student and parent 2011 Federal Income tax returns (including all schedules, 1099s, and W-2 forms) directly to the College Board's document imaging service (IDOC) by May. We assure you that your privacy is completely protected through this process. You will receive additional instructions electronically from the College Board once your application is submitted.

All financial aid applicants for 2012-13 must complete their files by the published deadline dates. If you do not complete the necessary applications and provide all requested documents in a timely manner, we cannot guarantee the availability of college funds.

Returning students completing their financial aid files after May 1, 2012 may be subject to penalty assessments.

Students who did not apply for or did not receive need-based financial aid previously at CMC are not guaranteed they will receive financial aid or be considered for financial aid in the coming academic year. Each year financial aid consideration will be determined based on the availability of funds.
