2024-25 FAFSA Processing Delays
The Department of Education announced that colleges will not begin receiving FAFSA applicant data (ISIRs) until the first half of March. This delay impacts LLCC Financial Aid’s ability to send financial aid offers to students. Based on this delay, we anticipate financial aid offers to be sent from the college in mid to late April. Our office will be sure to share any continuing developments with LLCC staff and faculty.
LLCC-Jacksonville to host community scholarship event Jan. 24
LLCC-Jacksonville will host a free community scholarship information and FAFSA completion event on Wednesday, Jan. 24, from 3-6 p.m.
Students and their families can get information from more than a dozen organizations offering scholarships, including the LLCC Foundation. Anyone needing assistance completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can schedule a 30-minute appointment to meet with an LLCC financial aid professional.
Event information, including registration can be found in the LLCC Newsroom.
