Take Special Notice
Some students have recently received a notice from the COLLEGE FINANCIAL
ADVISORY organization encouraging them to complete the CFA profile form to apply
for financial aid for the 2009-2010 school year. There is a $49 fee to use their
services.
The LCC Financial Aid Office wants to remind you that there is NO CHARGE to
apply for federal and state financial aid, as well as LCC Foundation
scholarships. There is also no charge to apply for 99% of the other sources of
financial aid available to students nationwide.
The COLLEGE FINANCIAL ADVISORY organization and other organizations and
companies like it, pledge to provide you with as many targeted financial aid
opportunities as possible. But their own fine print informs you that they cannot
guarantee results.
These companies cannot do anything more than you can do on your own, free of
charge. By using the information available to you on the Internet, you can
identify and apply for all types of financial aid funds. Try
www.fafsa.ed.gov and
www.finaid.org. These are great sources of
financial aid information.
The LCC financial aid staff is here to assist you with the processes to help you
pay for your college education - at no charge! Please call or visit our office
for assistance.
