Title IV School Code 005500

The Financial Aid staff at Manhattan Area Technical College is dedicated to assisting students with the process of applying for and receiving their financial aid.

The first step in determining your eligibility for Title IV Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, Work Study and Stafford Student Loans) is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can do this by completing the paper FAFSA (available through MATC or a high school counselor) or you can complete the FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Although MATC has no priority deadline you should complete the FAFSA as early as possible. For the results of your FAFSA to be processed by MATC, you must have submitted an admissions application.

For students to be eligible for Title IV aid at MATC you must be:

• enrolled in a Technical Certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree program
• enrolled at least half-time
• a high school graduate or have a GED
• a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
• registered with Selective Service, if required to do so
• cannot be in default on a federal education loan, or owe a repayment on a federal grant
• maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (2.0 GPA or higher and complete 75% of enrolled classes)

All financial aid, with the exception of Federal Work Study and the Federal Parent PLUS Loan, is applied directly to a student's account on a semester basis. After tuition and fees are paid, any remaining credit balance will be returned to the student.
