Need help?

It's time to renew your financial aid for next year. If you've done your taxes, now is the time to go on-line and complete your 2008-2009 FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

We will be having Financial Aid Help Sessions every Wednesday and Thursday night at 4:00 p.m. if you need assistance renewing your FAFSA. Your FAFSA needs to be filled out as soon as possible to receive financial aid for the fall semester. If you are interested in coming to get help with your FAFSA, please meet in the counseling and advising offices at 4:00 p.m. on any given Wednesday and Thursday.

Funding for the Power of YOU.

 In the legislative session that ended Sunday night, May 18, the Power of YOU program received $600,000 for scholarships. The Governor is expected to sign the big budget deficit bill which includes Power of YOU funding.

Thank you to students, faculty and staff. Your voices were heard at the Capitol and your support made a significant difference. In three months, we came from no legislation to statutory language for Power of YOU scholarships. There is, however, more work to do next year. The funding we received is not permanent. (This was a late breaking change.)

Thanks again for your support. This is a very important start to permanent funding for the Power of YOU.

Power of YOU goes to the Capitol.

 On March 27, more than 100 Power of YOU students from MCTC and St. Paul College attended a funding hearing for the Power of YOU program at the State Capitol. MCTC President Phil Davis and MCTC Power of YOU student Jasmine McConnell were two of the people who testified.

To learn more about the history of the Power of YOU and the request for funding, read President Davis' Community Voices piece that appeared on minnpost.com and POY student Jasmine McConnell's speech that she gave at the hearing.
