We believe scholarships aren’t just for the chosen few. We’re dedicated to helping everyone afford higher education.

How to Apply for Scholarships

Follow these steps to apply for scholarships, explore additional opportunities, and to make the most of available resources.

Complete the FAFSA

Why?
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential even if your program isn't financial aid eligible. It is required for most state-funded scholarships and helps demonstrate your financial need. Completing the FAFSA can also open the door to other scholarship opportunities.

Should I fill it out even if I don’t think I’ll qualify for federal financial aid?
Yes! Not every scholarship is need-based, but many require that students explore federal funding possibilities first. It also helps us determine other financial aid options for you.

The FAFSA code for MTECH is 034133.
