How are you paying for the cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room and board)? The cost of attendance for NYS residents is ~$12k/year for residential students. If you qualify for full TAP and Pell that’s ~$10k/year. And you can take the ~$5500/year (~$2750/semester) federal student loan. If you’re awarded the full amounts it might cover the direct expenses. If there’s anything left over you’d get it in a refund, but not until several weeks into the semester. You’d have to come up with the money for travel and dorm supplies for the fall. If you get a Work Study job, you can use that money as you earn it for personal expenses.

To qualify for TAP (the NYS tuition program) you have to be a NYS resident and meet certain income limits. Your parents’ income will be considered until you’re 35. To qualify for Pell you have to be a US citizen. Your parents’ income will be considered until you’re 24 or meet one of the other criteria to be considered financially independent,

Why did you choose MCC? Aren’t there any community colleges closer to home?
