2024-2025 FAFSA Update

Federal Student Aid has delayed the release date of the 2024-2025 FAFSA until sometime late in December. However, there are several things students and families can do to prepare. Review the following flyer based on your student status:

Current College Student
Future College Student

To learn more about what has changed for the 2024-2025 FAFSA, watch this video.

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

Read about financial aid eligibility requirements to see if you qualify to receive financial aid.

Types of Aid

  • Grants
  • Scholarships
  • 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.

Announcements

Need Financial Aid for the current academic year? It’s not too late! Submit your 2023-2024 FAFSA ASAP! The 2023-2024 FAFSA is available for submission until June 30, 2024.

2024-2025 FAFSA delayed

Federal Student Aid has delayed the release of the 2024-2025 FAFSA until sometime in late December. The release date has not yet been announced, but will be communicated to students when we have more information. The FAFSA should be completed at www.studentaid.gov as soon as it is available in order to maximize financial aid eligibility for the 2024-2025 school year, which begins with the Fall 2024 term.

Lake Land College School Code: 007644
