Information About Financial Aid
Financial aid money is made available to students for the purpose of paying for educational expenses. Financial aid is designed to supplement the amount of money students and their families are expected to contribute to meet the cost of attending college. Sources and amounts of financial aid money vary, and each student's application for financial aid is individually reviewed to determine eligibility.
Eligibility is based on the student's demonstrated financial need. The "need" amount is the difference between the cost of attending college for one year and the expected contribution of the student's family. Each student applies for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) once a year. To find out about completing a FAFSA form on the web, go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
The College of Menominee Nation offers a wide variety of financial aid resources to students. Financial aid is available to both full-time and part-time students. Students are encouraged to thoroughly investigate and apply for multiple sources of financial aid. At CMN, our Financial Aid personnel work carefully and confidentially to make the Financial Aid process as efficient as possible.
To aid our students, we offer:
*
Financial Aid Workshops
* Orientations
* One on One Counseling
Grants are monetary awards distributed to students. Grants are based on need according to household finance information provided on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Federal, State, BIA, (Bureau of Indian Affairs) or Tribal Grants may be available for our students.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available to students. The Financial Aid office
assists students in directing them to scholarship resources.
Students are encouraged to apply for as many scholarships as possible.
Work-Study Employment
Work-Study Employment may be included as part of the financial aid award
package. Some students may be eligible to work on campus.
Work-Study employment is largely based on financial need.
