Financial Aid and Scholarships
New Scholarships Available
Grants/Scholarships - Student assistance that does not have to be repaid. These are available from a number of sources.
Work Study - Employment opportunities for students with financial aid, based upon need.
Loans - Student assistance that must be repaid upon graduation or dropping at or below half-time enrollment.
What does a student have to do?
A student must be admitted to Marshall Community & Technical College before he or she can receive any financial aid.
To apply for needs-based financial aid, a student must complete
a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA
is available from either the Marshall University Office of Student
Financial Assistance, high school guidance counselors, or public
libraries. A student also may submit an application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
The FAFSA must be submitted if a student wants to
considered for all available resources including grants, loans and
student employment. A processing fee is not required for the FAFSA.
The FAFSA is used to determine family ability to meet the cost of the
student’s education, which, in turn, determines "financial need."
A student should mail or electronically submit the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible to receive consideration for programs with limited funding. The application deadline for West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program is March 1st.
Four to six weeks after a student mails the FAFSA, an acknowledgment will be sent to him or her by the federal application processor. The student’s data will also be submitted electronically to Marshall University. Marshall Community & Technical College’s Title IV Institutional Code is 040414.
