Financial Aid​​

Financial Aid is a partnership between the student and the college which provides funding to help individuals obtain their educational goals. Those receiving Financial Aid are required to enroll in courses needed to achieve their educational objective, work hard and learn, and move progressively toward successful completion of their educational goal.

If you are a brand new student to Lassen Community College you must complete an Application for Admissions before your FAFSA can be received at our institution. On the first page of our website is a tab APPLY, click on this tab and the next page is where you Begin Application for Lassen Community College.

You will need to create an FSA ID to be able to sign your FAFSA, https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch . Make sure to keep record of your FSA ID, password and challenge questions, as this is how you will log back into your FAFSA if you need to make corrections. This FSA ID number and password will let you access other Student Aid websites

Work with the financial aid office to make sure you meet the requirements and deadlines for all the financial aid programs for which you are applying. File your financial aid application each year (https://studentaid.gov) to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid-FAFSA as soon as October 1^st. The Lassen Community College school code is 001217. You must enter this school code into your FAFSA for Lassen Community College to be able to receive your application.  Carefully review the instructions and complete the FAFSA accurately. Any mistakes or omissions will only delay the processing of your application.  Save all the financial records you used to complete the FAFSA because you may need them later if your FAFSA is chosen for verification by the Department of Education.

Within two to four weeks of filing your FAFSA, you’ll receive your Student Aid Report, or SAR. The SAR will report the information you provided on the FAFSA and it will let you know if you need corrections to your FAFSA. If you do not receive your SAR within four weeks, or if you need another copy, call 1.800.433.3243 or check online at https://studentaid.gov.
