Financial Aid
Welcome To Student Financial Services!
Welcome to Student Financial Services at Mount Wachusett Community College! Our team is here to help you and your family understand financial aid, student accounts, and the cost of attending college.
Paying for school can feel stressful, but many students qualify for financial aid and financial support to make college more affordable. We can help you access federal, state, and MWCC funding, including grants that do not need to be repaid. Some students may also choose to use student loans to cover remaining costs.
Even if you’re not sure you’ll qualify, we encourage you to apply for financial aid early so you can receive the most aid possible. Our goal is to help you understand your options and make paying for college easier.
Types Of Aid Available
Students may receive grants (free money that does not need to be repaid), scholarships, work-study jobs, student loans, and payment plan options. Some students may also qualify for state aid through the MASFA if they cannot complete the FAFSA. Visit the financial aid options page to learn more about ways to pay for college.
MWCC Cost Of Attendance
Understanding the full cost of attending Mount Wachusett Community College is an important step in planning your education. MWCC provides detailed Cost of Attendance budgets for Massachusetts residents, New England Regional students, and non-residents to help estimate your total expenses, including tuition, fees, and living costs. These budgets are also used to determine financial aid eligibility and award amounts. To explore a complete breakdown and find the information that applies to you, visit the full Cost of Attendance page.
Financial Aid Resources, Policies & Agreements
We understand that paying for college and navigating the financial aid process can feel overwhelming at times. That’s why MWCC provides clear resources, policies, and guidance to help you better understand your options, responsibilities, and important next steps. Visit the Financial Aid Resources, Policies, and Agreements pay to find information about payments and refunds, financial aid requirements, loan borrower information, tax forms, student rights and responsibilities, and other important financial aid policies and agreements designed to support you throughout your educational journey.
Health Insurance
Massachusetts law requires students taking a full-time course load to have health insurance coverage. MWCC may add a student health insurance charge to your bill unless you show proof of comparable coverage.
If you already have health insurance, you may be able to waive the college plan through the MWCC insurance website.
Current students should log into iConnect to view health insurance details, waiver steps, and billing information.
