Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use financial skills such as personal financial management and budgeting. When people are able to fully meet current and ongoing financial obligations and can feel secure in their financial future, it leads to a lifetime of financial well-being.
The Financial Aid Office at MCCC is committed to helping students through the steps to apply for financial aid to fund the cost of college. Our goal is to help students understand their finances, secure funding to help pay for college, plan for repaying student loans after college and regularly review personal budgets as part of practicing good financial habits.
MCCC students have free access to iGrad, a personalized money management tool that can help students make informed financial decisions. Using iGrad students can complete a Financial Wellness Checkup and build a strong foundation for their financial future.

- Help you reach your financial goals one step at a time
