The Federal programs of financial aid at Mid-Plains Community College include loans, grants, and part-time employment. The purpose is to assist qualified students who desire financial assistance to make possible their attendance at college.
Please note: The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) used to import tax information into the FAFSA is now available for the 2018-2019 FAFSA. As an extra privacy and security measure, your tax information will no longer display to you for verification and will also not display once imported into the FAFSA. Instead, you will see "Transferred from the IRS" in the appropriate fields. Please do not have concerns about the correct information being transferred, the information is coming directly from your 2016 tax return filed with the IRS. The IRS DRT will remain unavailable for the 2017-2018 FAFSA.
To be eligible for Federal Financial Aid at MPCC a student must have a high school diploma, GED certificate or home school certificate prior to enrollment in an occupational or academic program of study leading to a degree, diploma or certificate.
Persons interested in general information about federal financial aid should contact or write the Office of Financial Aid at either McCook or North Platte Community College. To apply for all types of federal financial aid the student needs to go online at http://www.fafsa.gov and complete the FAFSA application form. Students attending college through one of the extended campus locations at Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala or Valentine should also go online to complete their FAFSA applications. The processed FAFSA report (known as the Student Aid Report or SAR) plus any other documentation requested by the Financial Aid Office must be submitted before an application will be considered complete. Some students may be selected for verification. This process requires the student to submit supporting documentation in addition to the SAR. FAFSA results received in the Financial Aid Office before May 1st will be given first consideration. FAFSA results received after May 1 will be considered if funds are available.
Financial Aid offices are located in the Welcome Centers on the McCook Campus in McMillen Hall and North Platte South Campus.
