Steps to Financial Aid

  1. Visit the Federal Student Aid website, www.studentaid.gov, and complete the 2025/2026 FAFSA (which requires 2023 tax data). 
  2. Add Midland College using school code 009797. 
  3. Check daily for emails on the student and parent email accounts provided on the FAFSA, including the student's MC account. If the student is selected for verification, instructions will be sent via email. 
  4. Submit an Official High School Transcript with Graduation Date to Records.

The 2025/2026 FAFSA covers the following semesters: Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026. If you are preparing to start school in Fall 2026, complete the 2026/2027 FAFSA.
