The Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) Student Financial Services Office provides detailed Cost of Attendance Budgets for resident, New England Regional, and non-resident students. We use these budgets to calculate your eligibility for need-based aid, financial aid awards, and student loan certifications.
