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.

Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds Update

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Lake Land College has disbursed almost 8 million dollars of Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) to our students in need. At this time, we have almost exhausted all of our COVID relief funds. Due to the limited remaining funds, we will not be awarding in the same manner that we did for the Fall 2022 semester. For Spring 2023, HEERF funds will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis by request only. There will not be bookstore vouchers available for special program kits and we will not be automatically awarding to those with the Federal PELL grant. Students must be enrolled 3 or more credit hours in a financial aid eligible program and MUST complete the application in their Laker Hub as soon as it is available. The application will be available on January 17th, 2023. We anticipate funds will be exhausted within the first few days, so don’t delay!

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.
