If there's one thing I want every Midland College student to know, it's this: you don't have to have it all figured out to walk into our office. In fact, our motto here in the scholarships office is "Come as you are."

Midland College isn't just a stop on the way to "what's next." It's a place where students of all ages, backgrounds, and dreams intersect, often in the most unexpected ways. It's a place where a nervous hello at 9:30 a.m. can become a shared lunch by noon. A place where stories collide and turn into friendships. A place where your differences aren't obstacles, they're invitations to connect.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed thinking about how to pay for college, you're not alone. Every day, I work with students who are in your shoes -- trying to understand the process, meet deadlines, and make smart choices about their future. One of the most important steps you can take is filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as the FAFSA.
