NMC sets 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 Saipan, Tinian, and Rota on the following dates:
– Nov. 14, 2019, from 10am to 1pm in Building D and the Library, Tinian Campus
– Nov. 22, 2019, from 9am to 12pm in Building A-1, Rota Campus
– Nov. 23, 2019, from 9am to 12pm, between Buildings N and O, Saipan Campus
Staff members from the college’s Office of Admissions and Records will also be present during the Cash for College on Saipan to provide information and assistance with the NMC admission application process.
In addition, those who participate in the workshop will qualify to have their NMC application fee and placement test fees waived for the upcoming spring 2020 semester—a savings of up to $75.
Although not required, 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), their high school diploma, a copy of 2017 and 2018 1040, copy of 2017 and 2018 W-2 (if not filing), and proof of CNMI residency, including proof of continuing residency. Applicants for SHEFA should bring a valid U.S. passport or a voter registration card.
