All required documents must be received by the May 1. If an application remains incomplete after August 1, eligibility for institutional aid may not be available. Students who have completed their aid application by May 1 will be mailed aid eligibility letters throughout May and June. If MHC requires additional information, students will be contacted. The deadline penalty does not apply to supplemental information that the College may request after file review has begun.
Students can expect an increase in their student loan each year.
While the College is committed to providing assistance to students who demonstrate financial need, because a student is the direct beneficiary of her education, she is expected to assume additional responsibility for the cost of her education each year. Changes in the family contribution are not made arbitrarily. A student's family contribution may increase or decrease based on the information provided for that year. Adjustments in the family contribution typically result from increases or decreases in income, a change in the number of siblings in undergraduate institutions, or a change in the number of dependent family members living in the household. CSS supplemental forms can be downloaded from the financial assistance Web site.
