6. THE METHOD(S) USED BY THE INSTITUTION TO DETERMINE WHICH STUDENTS RECEIVE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID GRANTS AND HOW MUCH THEY WOULD RECEIVE UNDER SECTION 18004(A)(1) OF THE CARES ACT.

Spring 2020 Distribution

Using student data drawn from the college’s official census day (March 16, 2020), college personnel identified degree-seeking students who were eligible to receive Title IV funding or were likely to be eligible upon completion of the FAFSA. Students who were enrolled in 100 percent online or remote courses were removed from the list as were students receiving faculty/staff tuition waivers. Students who were already eligible to receive Title IV funds were selected and based on calculations derived from the total available dollars for emergency relief for students. The students were further divided into sub-categories. These were:

• Full-time, degree seeking students who were enrolled as of March 16 ($350 was awarded to each student).
• Part-time degree seeking students who were enrolled as of March 16 ($200 was awarded to each student).
• Pell-eligible students (due to higher financial need) were given an additional $150.
• Eligible students who were working on campus but who were no longer able to do so due to the switch to remote delivery of courses and related campus disruptions were awarded lost wages for the remainder of the academic year. Amounts varied according to rate of pay and hours scheduled. Federal Work Study students were paid out their work-study awards per separate guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.
• Eligible students who were displaced from campus housing and who had not already received a partial refund of room and board were awarded partial refunds of room and board.
• Additional funds have been set aside such that eligible students may apply for additional funding for significant extra expenses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 disruption. Students have been advised on how to apply to be considered for this funding per the message provided below.

Summer 2020 Distribution

Using the eligible roster from Spring Semester 2020, college personnel identified students who were enrolled in summer courses. Because Summer Semester 2020 was delivered exclusively online and is charged at a per credit rate, an increase in expenses may occur and therefore, the grant amount was increased. Students who were eligible to receive a distribution were selected and based on calculations derived from the total available dollars for emergency relief for students. The students were further divided into sub-categories. These were:

• Full-time, degree seeking students who were enrolled as of June 23 ($500 was awarded to each student).
• Part-time degree seeking students who were enrolled as of June 23 ($300 was awarded to each student).
• Pell-eligible students (due to higher financial need) were given an additional $250.
• Additional funds have been set aside such that eligible students may apply for additional funding for significant extra expenses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 disruption. Students have been advised on how to apply to be considered for this funding per the message provided below.

• Part-time degree seeking students who were enrolled as of February 24 ($150 was awarded to each student).

7. ANY INSTRUCTIONS, DIRECTIONS, OR GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE INSTITUTION TO STUDENTS CONCERNING THE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID GRANTS.

This email was sent directly from the LCSC Financial Aid Office to eligible or likely eligible students. This was sent on Friday, May 1, 2020. 

You may have read or heard about emergency student grant funding under the CARES Act. LCSC is securing funds to make available to eligible students impacted by campus disruptions due to the COVID-19 virus. The US Department of Education has provided several guidelines associated with this funding. In order to qualify, students must show that they are eligible to receive federal student financial aid. The only way to demonstrate your eligibility is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Being eligible to receive federal student aid does not mean you have to demonstrate high financial need.  I just means that you would be qualified to receive some form of aid including unsubsidized student loans.

We are contacting you because we do not have a current, valid FAFSA for you. Your FAFSA must be received by LCSC no later than Wednesday, May 13, in order to be considered for CARES Act emergency funding.  Don’t let your personal or family income be a reason you do not complete a FAFSA.

Completing a FAFSA does not guarantee you will be eligible to receive emergency funding, but it is the first step to establishing your eligibility. In addition to having a current FAFSA on file with us, you must be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).  If you have submitted your FAFSA, you may have SAP or other issues to resolve before you can be considered.

You can complete a FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected]. Please note that our staff is working remote at this time and response times may be delayed.
