NMC Cash for College workshops
Students who are looking for help in finding money to pay for college are encouraged to attend the upcoming Cash for College workshops hosted by Northern Marianas College.
At the workshops, participants will be provided with personal, step-by-step assistance in completing college financial aid forms, focusing especially on forms for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, CNMI Scholarship, Saipan Higher Education Financial Assistance, Tinian Municipal Scholarship, Rota Municipal Scholarship, and the TEACH Grant. Workshop participants can also have their financial aid documents notarized and photocopied, all without any charges or fees.
The Cash for College event will be held on Rota, Saipan, and Tinian on the following dates:
ROTA

In addition, those who participate in the workshop will qualify to have their NMC application fee and placement test fees waived for the upcoming fall 2019 semester. This waiver represents a savings of up to $75
