Financial Aid

One of the biggest concerns students have is how to pay for their college education. Cloud County Community College helps students and their families afford an education through a number of financial aid assistance options: college-funded scholarships based on merit, achievement, and/or need; state and federally funded grants and loans; and college work study and employment options.

To apply for financial aid, you must fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. You can receive one from your high school counselor, from Cloud or fill one out online. Turn your FAFSA form in as soon as possible after January 1st.
Don’t make assumptions about receiving financial aid until you have filled out, submitted, and received confirmation that you will receive aid.
Apply early for any hometown or Cloud scholarships. Our priority deadline is April 1st.
Consider loans as an alternative or supplement to financial aid.

Endowed Scholarships
Endowed Scholarships are created through a gift made to the College’s endowment, and follow a formula where the interest earned from endowment performance is dedicated toward scholarship aid. Each year there are more than 100 endowed scholarships awarded to Saint Peter’s students. There are both partial and full scholarships funded through this program.

Annual Scholarships
Annual Scholarships are funded through the generosity of donors that prefer their gifts be awarded to students in full when the gift is made. Much like endowed scholarships, the annual scholarship program offers students aid critical to their success and honors the life or memory of a named designee.

Financing Your Education

College is one of the finest investments you can make in your future. Studies indicate that, as a graduate, you’ll enjoy significantly higher earnings over your lifetime than will non-graduates. A Saint Joseph College education is an extraordinary investment in yourself and your future. It is yours for life.

Saint Joseph College is committed to placing a high quality, private education within the reach of as many qualified students as possible. We offer merit and need-based financial aid awards that include a combination of grants, loans and on-campus employment opportunities. About 85% of our students are receiving some type of financial aid.

We encourage all students who are accepted to the college to get an early estimate of eligibility for aid for 2009-10. Log on to FAFSA4Caster.ed.gov, complete the process and mail the corresponding output to Saint Joseph College Student Financial Services.

In order to apply for financial aid, you will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our priority deadline for the 2009-2010 academic year is February 15, 2009. You may complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov beginning January 1, 2009. You will need to apply for a pin (Personal Identification Number) number in advance at www.pin.ed.gov. If you are selected for verification we will request additional information from you. Our correspondence will be to your permanent home address as listed on your FAFSA.

We’re here to help current and prospective students understand the requirements and procedures of the financial aid process.

Financial aid at LBCC is intended to help students who are unable to pay the full cost of a college education. Funds from grants, loans, and/or part-time employment are intended to supplement family and student resources.

Financial aid advisors are available to see students on a drop-in basis from 10:00-11:00 a.m. and 1:30-2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10:00-11:00 a.m. on Friday. If you would like a longer appointment, you can schedule one by calling the financial aid office.
