FINANCIAL AID WHAT IS FINANCIAL AID? Financial aid helps students and their families pay for college. This financial assistance covers educational expenses including tuition, fees, books, and supplies. There are several types of financial aid that may be combined into your financial aid package. Lone Star College-Kingwood students have access to scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study options to help pay for college. Financial aid packages may include more than one type of award. However, the combined total of all awards must not exceed a student s cost of attendance (COA). If a student s financial aid package exceeds his/her COA, awards will be adjusted according to federal, state, and institutional guidelines. We encourage students to apply by April 1. This gives students the best chance of receiving state aid that is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must complete the FAFSA each year. To receive Financial Aid, you must complete LSC s 3-Step process: 1. Complete a FAFSA (LSC school code: 011145). 2. If requested, provide any additional documentation. 3. Review/accept financial aid award(s). Types of Financial Aid: Grants Academic Scholarships Veterans Affairs Student Loans Work-Study Program Workforce Scholarships Book Advances T-Stem Scholarships Financial Aid Workshops: Figuring out the right financial aid package can be confusing. Don t worry we offer financial aid workshops that walk you through every step of the process. Students who submit their application after the priority deadline are still eligible for financial aid, but may need to pay their tuition before the payment due date.
