The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an approximation of what it will cost to attend MCC for one year. The COA for MCC is established for every student that applies for Federal Student Aid and is determined by many factors including, but not limited to, enrollment status, residency status, and living situation.
When a student submits a FAFSA, the federal processor uses the information provided to calculate the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
Financial Need is determined by taking a student's Cost Of Attendance (COA) minus their Expected Family Contribution. COA - EFC = Financial Need. .
