(Formerly known as the Board of Governors Fee Waiver)
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
What if you can’t afford the fees? We can help you! We know that paying for college is a big challenge. That is why the Office of Financial Aid is here to help you take advantage of all financial resources that are available. Apply for free federal and state aid by completing the following steps:: • Visit www.fafsa.gov and complete the 20182019 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and include LMC’s school code 010340 in the appropriate section. For first time applicants, you will need to create an FSA ID username and password. • Although the Summer 2019 semester begins in June, apply early! It will take several business days for the Office of Financial Aid to receive and process the FAFSA, so students are encouraged to apply before the semester begins. Once the review process begins, additional documents may be requested from the student. • Students can view which documents the office is requesting via the Insite portal at m.4cd. edu. Students can also stop by the office with a photo ID to determine what their next steps are in the process. Financial Aid Disbursement Options Students now have options in how they receive their financial aid disbursement: 1. Direct Deposit: Funds can be transferred directly to your existing bank account in 1-2 business days. 2. BankMobile Vibe Checking Account: You can open a checking account with the District’s disbursement partner BankMobile and receive funds the same business day. 3. Paper Check: A paper check will be mailed to the address on file with the Admissions & Records office. Typically, it takes 5-7 business days to arrive depending on USPS delivery times.
