Financial Aid
Student Services Center, Building 9B | 2nd Floor | (909) 274-4450 | www.mtsac.edu/financialaid
Financial aid is available for students to assist with the costs associated with attending college. Although the primary responsibility for meeting college costs rests with the student and his or her family, it is recognized that many families have limited resources and are unable to meet the cost of a college education. Most financial aid programs were established
to provide assistance for students with documented financial need. The College provides financial assistance in the form
of grants, enrollment fee waivers, loans, scholarships, and part-time employment for students who meet financial aid program eligibility requirements. Student financial aid awards are contingent upon continued funding from Federal and State government agencies. Students eligible for financial aid typically receive a “Financial Aid Offer” package in their Student Portal of aid from one or more financial aid programs offered.
