Announcing Additional Assistance for Food and Internet
Eligible students should have received an email from LCC informing them of possible assistance with groceries and internet service. LCC is spreading the word about these new programs but is not able to answer your eligibility questions.
If you have questions or want to apply for the assistance for groceries, please refer to the State of Michigan's MIBridges website. You may be required to provide documentation of eligibility by printing and submitting your Student Aid Report from the FAFSA website or provide the letter that you received in March from the U.S. Department of Education. If you currently receive assistance through the State of Michigan, please contact your case manager to determine if your benefits have increased due to this new program.
If you have questions or want to apply for the internet assistance, access fcc.gov/broadbandbenefit.
