Financial Aid & Veteran Services

Getting Started

Review the Financial Aid Process & Paying for College presentation. Students should apply for financial aid at least 8-10 weeks before the start of the semester. Everyone applying for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year.

Cost of Attendance

Lake Land College is a great value with the lowest tuition and fees in the area. Both direct and indirect costs are included in our estimated cost of attendance. Our net price calculator tool provides a broad estimate of the net cost of attendance after grants and scholarships. These tools will help you estimate on how much money you will need to secure to attend Lake Land College.

Eligibility

Types of Aid

  • Student Loans
  • Veterans Programs
  • Work Study
  • Online Resources

Continuation of Financial Aid

Staying in good academic standing and maintaining “satisfactory academic progress” is important in keeping your financial aid.

Special Circumstances

The FAFSA uses a standardized formula for all when determining eligibility for Title IV financial aid. There are circumstances where adjustments are warranted due to changes in a student’s (or their family’s) income, living situation, or expenses. On a case-by-case basis, the Financial Aid Office will review these circumstances upon a student’s request, please contact our office for more details.

Unusual Circumstances

Under very limited circumstances, an otherwise dependent student may be able to submit the FAFSA without parental information due to unusual circumstances. If you believe you have an unusual circumstance and are unable to provide parental information, please contact our office for more details.
