In addition to high school graduates, adults aged 25 and older who reside in Mesa can also apply for the program by meeting certain requirements. These include demonstrating financial need through FAFSA completion and supporting documentation, having earned a high school diploma or GED, not having previously attended college or only having some college experience without a degree, and enrolling at MCC with a minimum of 6 credits as a degree or certificate-seeking student in an eligible program of study.
