Seniors & Families - Paying for college can feel overwhelming, but MCC is here to help! Finding the money you need to help pay for school starts with the FAFSA? (Free Application for Federal Student Aid.)

The FAFSA is your first step to apply for grants, A+, scholarships, work study, and loans. Start on the road to financing your education today! No appointment is necessary, but you can register to reserve your seat by calling 816-604-1000.


We encourage you to have the following items available to help complete your FAFSA:
