Getting the Most Out of Financial Aid

Worried about how you are going to pay for school? MC’s Financial Aid Office is here to help.

First stop? The Financial Aid and Admissions Office: Sciences and Applied Studies Building (SA), Room 140 for Financial Aid and Room 138 for Admissions at the Germantown Campus.

The best time to stop by? The offices are open at 8:30 in the morning Monday-Friday–and mornings are definitely the best way to avoid lines and waiting. Closing times vary: Mondays and Wednesday’s the office is open until 7 p.m., Tuesdays the offices close at 5 p.m., and on Thursday, they close at noon. Best bet? Be there by 8:30 a.m. and you will not have to wait in a long line.
You can also contact the the Admissions Office by calling 240-567-5000 or emailing them at response@montgomerycollege.edu. To contact Financial Aid, call 240-567-5100 or email them at FinancialAid@montgomerycollege.edu.
