To be eligible for MC benefits, participation is limited to United States citizens and federal student aid eligible non-citizens as defined by the Federal Student Aid Office at studentaid.gov. When UPS reviews a student's employment verification, if a student is listed as a non-citizen on the I-9 paperwork, the student must have a completed current year FAFSA on file with the institution to determine if the student is an eligible non-citizen as defined by the Federal Student Aid Office. The UofL/JCTC Financial Aid Office can assist you with any questions regarding the FAFSA and your eligibility status.

In the future a completed Financial Aid file with the school you are attending is required for continuation of MC benefits. Learn more about the MC FAFSA requirement or complete the Interactive MC Financial Aid Worksheet to learn how financial aid affects your tuition benefits with Metropolitan College.
