Tuition and Book Voucher Assistance for Current ATPA Students

Tuition Assistance program overview (PDF, Get Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader - Link opens in new window) .

Students enrolled in personal Academic Coaching can request tuition assistance if:

  1. They have completed one semester of personal Academic Coaching in the most recent fall or spring term.
  2. They have satisfied all program requirements including meeting with their coach as agreed upon, attending at least 2 workshops per semester (fall and spring), completing one Building Blocks Workshop since becoming an ATPA student.
  3. They have received grades of C, B, or A in each of their classes in the previous semester. Grades of D, F, W, or U, disqualify a student from consideration for tuition assistance. If a course was dropped or a grade of W was received, they must have been granted a refund on appeal. If a WC or IC was received, this does not affect eligibility.

Tuition assistance awards are based on eligibility for financial aid at MC, financial need, and availability of funds. To remain eligible for future tuition assistance from ATPA, students must maintain the above mentioned requirements during the semester in which they receive a tuition assistance award from the ATPA. Students must be registered for their course(s) prior to submitting their tuition assistance request unless they are majoring in nursing or other program that does not allow students to register until their grades are posted. In this case, students should fill in the courses they intend to take. Incomplete forms will not be reviewed.

Note: Students already holding degrees (BA, BS, BAS, MA, MS, or terminal degrees) who are taking pre-req classes at MC are not eligible for ATPA financial assistance.

For questions or assistance, please review the Tuition Assistance and Book Voucher Assistance Handout for Current ATPA Students with your ATPA Coach or contact atpa@montgomerycollege.edu.

The Fall 2025 Session ATPA Tuition Assistance application closed Wednesday, July 30. Applications for Winter 2026/Spring 2026 semesters will open later in the fall. 

 

Loaner Laptops

MC's Laptop Loaner Program offers access to essential technology resources to help you succeed in your studies here at MC. The Digital Learning Centers have a limited number of laptops available to any MC student registered in credit-bearing courses.  Additional laptops may be available for currently enrolled and active with a personal Academic Coach taking either credit or non-credit courses. To request a laptop, please visit the MC Laptop Loaner Program page and complete the online request form.

After your ATPA status is verified and if laptops are still available, you’ll receive confirmation and available times and locations to pick up your laptop. If you have any questions about the MC Laptop Loaner Program, please contact dlcenter@montgomerycollege.edu.

NOTE: Your eligibility to keep an MC laptop loaner each semester enrolled depends on your active participation in the Achieving the Promise Academy. Otherwise, laptops must be returned to the Digital Learning Center at the end of each semester.
