NMC to host ‘Cash for College’ workshop on Nov. 15
The Northern Marianas College and College Access Challenge Grant program will be hosting a free “Cash for College” workshop that will help students and their parents maximize scholarship opportunities that are available to students seeking to obtain a college education.
The free workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, at the NMC campuses on Saipan (As Terlaje campus in Building A), Tinian, and Rota. The workshop will be an ongoing session, so participants can stop by anytime between 9am to 3pm.
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, the Saipan Higher Education Financial Aid, and the CNMI Scholarship.
Staff members from the college’s Office of Admissions and Records will also be present to provide information and assistance with the NMC application process.
It is recommended that workshop participants bring a valid form of identification (e.g., a valid U.S. passport, copy of valid application for a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or green card), an official transcript from high school (at least three official copies), tax forms, and proof of CNMI residency for 2012 and 2013, including proof of continuing residency. Applicants for SHEFA should bring a valid U.S. passport or a voter registration card.
The free “Cash for College” workshop was made possible by the financial support of the U.S. Department of Education’s College Access Challenge Grant program. This federal program aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented minority populations enrolled in college.
