Applying for Federal Financial Aid

Applying for financial aid can seem like a daunting task but with the assistance of the Mount Mary College Financial Aid Office staff you will be successful in securing financial assistance for your education.

Make sure you apply for financial aid as soon as possible AND reapply each year you need aid. Continuing students reapplying for aid should be aware that both Mount Mary College and federal regulations require that a student make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree to be eligible for financial aid. The details of this requirement are posted in the Mount Mary College Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.
