This week the student communication project is sharing information on LLCC Foundation scholarships and the FAFSA.

Please join us in reminding students about these opportunities for the next academic year (beginning fall 2024).

Apply for LLCC Foundation scholarships.

The application period for 2024-25 Foundation scholarships is open through Feb. 15. Full- and part-time students are encouraged to apply using their LLCC email account at llccfoundation.org/scholarships.  Only one application form is needed to apply. Many of the scholarships are open to students in any program of study, with the average award being approximately $1,500 per academic year.  More information is available by emailing michlle.burger@llcc.edu or calling 217-786-4502.

Plan to submit the FAFSA.

The U.S. Department of Education has announced that the FAFSA for the 2024-25 academic year will open on Dec. 31, 2023. To prepare, students can get their FSA ID (FAFSA username and password) ready at studentaid.gov. LLCC Financial Aid staff are available to help. Contact Financial.Aid@llcc.edu or 217-786-2237. Once the FAFSA opens, staff will be available to assist starting Jan. 2.
