Financial Aid Check-In

Fall semester is approaching fast! Here's a quick check-in so you can make sure you are on track with your financial aid!

Have you applied for financial aid? If not - do that as soon as you can! Start with the FAFSA then apply for LCCC Scholarships.
Planning to use Hathaway? If it's your first time using Hathaway at LCCC (or you're coming back after an absence), make sure you have completed the LCCC Hathaway application. This must be done before the semester starts!
2026 High School Graduates: If your high school GPA was 3.0 or above at the end of your Junior year, make sure you have applied for the LCCC Presidential or Deans Scholarship!
Have you checked your financial aid status in your Self-Service app in your myLCCC account? This is where you'll learn of any missing requirements, documents you need to submit, and accept or reject your awards so that you know how much aid you are receiving!

The LCCC Student Hub is here to help you if you have questions about your financial aid or paying for college!
