What is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is money that can help you pay for your education -- including tuition, fees, room, board, books, and supplies!

There are several steps to apply for financial aid, and it's a good idea to start the process as early as possible to avoid delays.

See the videos below for some tips about getting started.
The first step to apply for financial aid is to file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
LCCC's FAFSA School Code:
