Financial Aid

Welcome to Financial Aid

The purpose of Financial Aid is to ensure that each student has sufficient resources to enable them to attend college. We provide grants, fee waivers, scholarships, loans, and federal work-study. Financial aid funds are provided to help with all costs of attending college, including costs of enrollment fees, book and supplies, room and board, other personal and living expenses, transportation, child care, and computers. Students do not have to be a full time student to be eligible for most forms of financial aid, but full-time students do receive the maximum amount of aid available. This is so that they can take more units, finish college faster and so that the student does not have to work so many hours.

Our friendly staff is here to help you with your questions and with the entire process. You may reach us in person during posted drop-in hours, by phone, or by email. We are committed to providing excellent service with quick response time. If you have any concern about paying for college please apply for financial aid, and do contact us if you need any kind of assistance.

Sincerely,

Andi Schreibman
Financial Aid Officer

TODAY'S TOP STORIES

flashing dotIMPORTANT: January 8th is the Priority Deadline to complete your financial aid file in order to receive payment the first week of classes. Missing this deadline may result in the delay in your grant funds for several weeks due to workload issues. If you are not sure what you need to do to complete your financial aid file, please check Class Web under financial aid requirements, call us, or drop by. Our Office will be closed until Jan. 5th, 2009.

 

Financial Aid Students:

Our scheduled REFUND date is the date the college transmits your grant funds to Higher One. Your funds will be available in your OneAccount within 24 hours of the Refund Date, and no later than 5pm the following day. Higher One and Las Positas College do not have access to and cannot provide any other detailed information regarding the exact time your account will be funded.

Scholarships and student loans are NOT processed through Higher One. Only federal and state grant funds go through the electronic payment process.

Introducing the Las Positas Debit Card through Higher One.

 


WARNING! We have had a least one student report they have received an unsolicited credit card offer for a so-called 'LPCCard'. THIS CARD IS NOT AFFILITATED WITH NOR ENDORSED BY OUR COLLEGE and the validity of such an offer is extremely suspect. Las Positas College is ONLY affiliated with The Las Positas Debit Card through Higher One Bank; the website is www.laspositasdebitcard.com.

Please beware and do not provide any personal information (social security, name, address, etc) to any unsolicited offer. They may be scams and may cost you $$$$ and even your identity theft. If you receive an unsoliticited offer which utilizes LPC's name, please contact the Las Positas Financial Aid office immediately with documentation so that we can investigate and help protect our students from predatory practices.
