Financial Aid Events | Montgomery College, Maryland

The Office of Student Financial Aid provides information about the financial aid process by hosting a variety of events. Through our efforts, we help students and families become familiar with different resources available to help pay for a college education. We are committed to raising financial aid awareness in our community by partnering with Montgomery College faculty and staff, K-12 schools, and public service programs.
