Financial Aid

Welcome to the Financial Aid Office at Mountwest Community and Technical College

The Office of Financial Aid works to communicate valuable information to students to make their education experience as cost effective as possible. In order to secure the most beneficial financial aid package, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on January 1, or as close to this date as possible.

All financial aid is awarded for one year at a time. You must reapply for aid each year for the upcoming academic year. You do not have to be enrolled as a full-time student to receive aid, but should generally be enrolled at least six hours. A student reapplies for aid by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The use of a federal PIN number for both students and parents (for dependent students) is recommended to complete the online FAFSA. Parents may use the same PIN number for multiple children. The recommended completion date for the FAFSA is March 1st. All West Virginia residents should complete the FAFSA no later than April 15 each year in order to ensure consideration for all available types of financial aid. Tax information is needed to complete the FAFSA. You do not have to file your taxes in order to complete the FAFSA. You may estimate income information, but should correct the information once your taxes are filed for the year.

All notices of deadlines are posted on our web page. Required document notices are sent via the campus assigned e-mail provided by Mountwest Community and Technical College; no notices will be mailed. New students who are not yet admitted to Mountwest Community and Technical College will be initially contacted through the e-mail address supplied on the FAFSA. Once students are admitted to Mountwest Community and Technical College all further notices will be sent using the campus assigned e-mail address. Spam filters should allow e-mail from Mountwest Community and Technical College. All awards and missing documents may be viewed using your MyMCTC account.
