Learn How to Pay for College During Financial Aid Awareness Week

College can be affordable

Financial Aid Awareness Week is back at MVC! You're invited attend workshops and events designed to help you understand the financial aid process. Learn how to apply, what resources are available to help cover college costs, and how to stay eligible for aid with the help of Student Financial Services.

Need to get started with financial aid? We encourage students to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) every year. Both applications have a priority deadline of September 2 for community college students. Haven’t submitted your 2025-26 application yet? No worries—you can still apply, with help!
