Minimize your student debt through some of the lowest tuition rates in the state. Our expert Financial Aid staff help you navigate the complex aid processes and find ways to cover the costs of tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation and housing.

Ways to Cover Education Costs

There are four types of types of financial aid and we recommend that all students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The FAFSA determines eligibility for need-based aid. The deadline for maximum consideration for the state is March 1; be sure to add LCC’s school code 002278.

Scholarships

We offer scholarships and awards based on financial need, academic merit, field of study, talent and athletic participation. Scholarships are funded through community organizations, the LCC Foundation, and employers; these funds do not need to be repaid.

Loans

You can borrow money from the federal government or a private lender. These funds must be repaid.

Grants

We help you find government grants to based on your eligibility. LCC also offers grants help cover the costs of your education. These funds do not need to be repaid.

Work Study

On- and off-campus employment opportunities allow you to earn the funds to help cover the costs of your educational expenses. As you work, you earn wages that may be used toward your school-related costs.
