Welcome Students!

Starting with Spring 2023 classes, students who meet eligibility requirements can take advantage of Maricopa Community Colleges’ affordable tuition and are also eligible for financial aid in the form of state and local assistance, in the form of grants, scholarships, or tuition waiver programs.
To be eligible, these students must have done both of the following:
Requirements

If you have any additional questions, you can contact your college’s Admissions, Records, and Registration/Enrollment Services office for details.

A Message from Our Chancellor
Dear Maricopa Students, We Are Ready For You!
This November, Arizona voters cast their ballots in support of Proposition 308, which will allow non-citizen Arizona high school graduates to now receive in-state tuition and state and local financial aid at Arizona’s community colleges. Starting with Spring 2023 classes, students who meet eligibility requirements will be able to take advantage of Maricopa Community Colleges’ affordable tuition and financial aid, in the form of state and local grants, scholarships, or tuition waiver programs.
This change will have a profound impact on the lives of countless students, many of whom put their dreams of higher education on hold.
