FEDERAL HEERF III/CARES ACT EMERGENCY GRANTS

LPC has less than $300,000 HEERF III/CARES EMERGENCY  FUNDS remaining to spend. 

Funds are currently being utilized to pay off student’s accounts with outstanding debts of $100 or more owed to the college which were incurred between Spring 2020 (when the covid emergency first began) and summer 2022. Students must apply for LPC debt relief through an online application, and must not have received a prior account payoff to qualify.    Students may inquire at the Financial Aid Office.  

Later in spring term 2023, remaining CARES funds will be provided as grants.   Criteria will be determined at that time, but funds will be very limited.

Only students who have submitted a 2022-2023 FAFSA or CADAA will be considered for a grant.   

For assistance with your application or questions please contact the Financial Aid Office at lpcfinaid@laspositascollege.edu, visit our office on the second floor of Building 1600, or contact us through Cranium Café during posted hours (http://www.laspositascollege.edu/financialaid/cranium-cafe.php)
