FAFSA (Financial Aid Application)
The key to unlocking grants, scholarships, and college funding
TMCHS students can and should complete FAFSA. FAFSA opens the door to federal and state grants like the Pell Grant and MAP Grant, plus work‑study and additional CCC scholarships. Many TMCHS students qualify for full financial aid, making college much more affordable.
TMCHS counselors and CCC advisors can help students complete the application.
