Northern Marianas College is reminding students and members of the community about NMC’s upcoming Cash for College workshops Rota, Saipan, and Tinian. In addition to receiving help in finding money for college, workshop participants can also have their financial aid documents notarized and photocopied without charge.

The Cash for College workshops will be held on Rota, Saipan, and Tinian on the following dates:

Jan. 24 & 25: Rota NMC campus, from 10am to 4pm on Jan/ 24 and 8am to 12pm on Jan. 25.

Jan. 26: Saipan, Buildings N and O, NMC As Terlaje campus, from 9am to 12pm.

Feb. 12: Tinian NMC Campus Library, from 10:30am to 2:30pm.

At the workshop participants will be provided with personal, step-by-step assistance in completing college financial aid forms, focusing especially on forms like the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and application forms for the CNMI Scholarship, Saipan Higher Education Financial Assistance (SHEFA), and other municipal scholarship programs.

Staff members from the college’s Office of Admissions and Records will also be present to provide information and assistance with the NMC admission application process.

Additionally, those who participate in the workshop will qualify to have their NMC application fee and placement test fees waived for the upcoming Fall 2018 semester. This waiver represents a savings of up to $75.
