Financial Aid

Before you begin, you and everyone who will contribute to your financial aid application will need to create an FSA ID. This is the username and password that will be used to log into the U.S. Department of Education website, and it is how you will electronically sign the application.

Make sure to select our school code: 001355

When applying, you and anyone contributing to your application (e.g., parent or spouse) are required to give consent and approval to have your federal tax information transferred directly from the IRS into your FAFSA form.

The Department of Education will send you an email when LCC has received your FAFSA information.

We’re sorry to say that we won’t have access to answer questions about your aid or status until then

We strongly recommended that students applying for the upcoming fall semester submit their FAFSA by April 1.

For assistance, please contact Celia in our Equal Opportunity Center at (719) 336-1590.

Some students applying for financial aid are required to submit certain documents for verification. The Office of Financial Aid verifies applications selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education and others that have questionable information.

A W-2 form is one example of a document that may need to be submitted to the financial aid office.

Students who need to provide extra documents will get Missing Information Letters specifying what is needed.

Only download and complete the verification forms if the LCC Office of Financial Aid has requested you to do so.

Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis to students who meet scholarship criteria and have completed the scholarship application by its deadline date.

Scholarships are reviewed each semester. If a student does not meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements or individual scholarship criteria, the scholarship will be canceled upon review.

Most scholarships are for fall and spring semesters. Some scholarships may be renewed for a second year.

Apply for Scholarships

LCC accepts Direct Stafford Student Loans from the U.S. Department of Education, and all LCC students may request one.

To apply, students need a current FAFSA and social security number. Base loan amounts are established by the Department of Education and are as follows:

• Freshman (less than 30 credits earned): $3500 per academic year
• Sophomore (30 or more credits earned): $4500 per academic year

Additional loan amounts above the base are considered on a case-by-case basis.
