Financial Aid Feature

Understanding Different Financial Aid Awards

signing_documents.jpg

After you apply for financial aid, you might get offered many different types of awards. Not all financial aid is created equal, so it's important that you understand what you are accepting and agreeing to!

Grants


  • Do not need to be repaid
  • Usually federal (e.g., Pell grant) but can also be from the institution
  • Eligibility usually depends on your financial need (as determined by your FAFSA).
  • Must complete a FAFSA (and any required verification) to apply for federal & LCCC grants

Scholarships


  • Do not need to be repaid
  • Can be from the institution, private donors (LCCC has over 400 private donor scholarships for our students!), or community or national organizations
  • You must apply specifically for scholarships - many have their own applications; the LCCC donor scholarship application helps connect you to the majority of our donor scholarships

Federal Student Loans


  • Must be repaid
  • No repayment required until after you have stopped attending school at least half-time
  • Low, fixed interest rates
  • Subsidized student loans = the loan does not accrue interest while you are in school
  • Unsubsidized student loans = the loan accrues interest while you are in school (and after)
  • Must complete a FAFSA to apply for federal student loans

And more!


  • Federal Work Study is an optional type of financial aid that can help you be eligible for some on-campus jobs.
  • Not all on-campus jobs require Federal Work Study.
  • You have to find, apply for, and be selected for an on-campus job in order to be considered for Federal Work Study

  • Alternative student loans are typically a "last-resort" option for LCCC students who may not be eligible for federal financial aid or who need additional financial resources
  • Alternative loans do not have all of the same perks of federal student loans (such as the low, fixed interest rate or flexible repayment options).

Accepting or Rejecting Your Awards


No matter what type of financial aid you are offered, it is up to you to decide if you want any of it.


You must accept or reject your financial aid awards, using the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.

Remember to check your student email and the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account for information or updates about your financial aid.

If you have questions, we are here to help!

Student ID Cards


Why get a Student ID?

Your LCCC Student ID Card identifies you as an LCCC student - and has your student ID number on it (which you'll need to have or know periodically!)


Plus, it serves as your library card, and for Cheyenne campus students, it's your building and room key if you will be living on-campus, and your meal plan card if you will be purchasing meals in the LCCC Dining Hall.


I'm new - how do I get a Student ID Card?


The fastest and easiest way to get a Student ID Card is to use our easy online process! Once you are registered for classes, use this form to submit your photo. Then we will either mail you your card, or you can come pick it up on-campus!


You can also walk-in at either the Cheyenne or Laramie Student Hub during their business hours to get your ID made, if you prefer.


I'm a continuing student - do I need to do anything to continue using my ID Card?


Your Student ID Card is valid for four years. So if you already have one, there's nothing you need to do! It still will work for everything you may need. Contact the Student Hub or use this form if you lost yours and need a replacement!

You're Invited To The Kickoff!

The Kickoff is a fun-filled welcome event that will give you the chance to explore campus, find your classes, and make connections with classmates and instructors.


Join us for the Fall 2022 Kickoff on August 19, 2022 to get your Fall semester started out right! Free dinner and a free t-shirt are included - plus a chance to win prizes, including an LCCC scholarship!
