Financial Aid - Special Conditions

Requesting Special Consideration at MCC

If you (and/or your family) believe to have unusual circumstances that might affect your need for financial aid, you should first complete and submit the FAFSA to the federal processor.  Then complete and submit a "Special Consideration Re-Evaluation Request Form" to the financial aid office. In some cases, we may decide to take these unusual circumstances into account and adjust your cost of attendance or the information used to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). You must provide adequate proof to support any special circumstances.

Possible examples of unusual circumstances include:

• Unusual medical or dental expenses not covered by insurance
• A family member who recently became unemployed
• Changes in income or assets that may affect the student's eligibility for financial aid

To request a re-evaluation: go to the Printable Forms page and print, complete and submit the "Special Consideration Re-Evaluation Request Form" for the appropriate year explaining your situation along with any supporting documentation.
