“I chose to attend EMCC because of the affordability and closeness to home but more importantly because of the program selection! What I like the most about the school is that the community is really supportive and full of opportunities if you just take them!”
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first and most important step in applying for financial aid. It is used to determine your eligibility for need-based financial aid and all Federal, state, and EMCC student aid programs. Fill out the FAFSA here.
We encourage students to file the FAFSA electronically and to use the Internal Revenue Service’s Data Retrieval system.
To file electronically, use FAFSA on the web. Remember to include EMCC’s school code (005277) in step six of the FAFSA. This form is free to use and you should never have to pay to complete this federal form, if you are prompted to pay then you are using the wrong form.
If you are unable to file your FAFSA electronically, please call us at 207.974.4625 for instructions on how to file a paper FAFSA form.
Our school code is 005277, include our number when you submit the FAFSA so that we are sent the results of your application.
First-time FAFSA filers must create a Federal Student Aid ID number. Go to this page and follow the steps provided for parents and students to create that FSA ID number.
If you are a returning student and you filed a FAFSA in the previous years, you may file a renewal FAFSA.
You will need your FSA ID (a user-selected name and password) which allows students and parents to access and electronically sign the online version of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
