The Office of Student Financial Aid is here to guide you and your family through the financial aid process. We host events and workshops designed to make the path to paying for college clearer and easier to navigate.
By partnering with Montgomery College faculty and staff, local schools, and community organizations, we’re committed to building financial aid awareness and connecting students with the resources they need to achieve their educational goals.

We'll cover everything from financial aid and scholarships to billing and staying enrolled.
