Office of the Financial Aid

The Office of Financial Aid's core mission is to ensure that all eligible students enrolled at Medgar Evers College apply and benefit from both Federal and State Financial assistance (including grants, loans, and work-study programs) for education beyond high school.

Office of Financial Aid is currently working remotely, but we are still here to assist you. If you have any inquiries regarding your financial aid please email us at finaid@mec.cuny.edu. Please include your 8-digit CUNY ID number; Due to high volume, we will do our best to answer all inquiries within 4 to 5 business day. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
