$$ Financial Awareness Month is Here! $$
April is Financial Awareness Month! We use this month to highlight the easy steps students can take to access financial resources and stay on track. As we delve into the month, it's crucial to highlight one of the most significant financial steps for many students: filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year 2024-2025.
IF YOU HAVE FILED YOUR FAFSA:
If you have already submitted your FAFSA for the 2024-2025 academic year, please note that the SMCC Financial Aid Office is experiencing unexpected delays in receiving applications. As a result, the review process may be delayed. We hope to begin reviewing FAFSAs and sending out financial aid offers by mid to late April. You should check your SMCC email regularly for any communication from the Financial Aid Office.
We appreciate your patience during this time and please feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] or (207) 741-5518 if you have any questions.
IF YOU STILL NEED TO FILE YOUR FAFSA, NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME!
Important Filing Date: File before May 1st, 2024 to be considered for the State of Maine Grant and to meet SMCC's priority filing date.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your FAFSA filing, don't hesitate to contact the SMCC Financial Aid Office at [email protected] or by phone at 207-741-5518. Our team is here to help you navigate the process and ensure you have access to the financial aid you need.
