Financial Aid
Worried about how to pay for college and survive as a student? Here is information on all of the costs of college you need to know about and what resources are available at the college and in the community to help you succeed.
Financial Aid funds are available for students to help them pay for their educational expenses. Most types of financial aid come from federal and state programs, which require completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial award funds are distributed based on a student’s demonstrated need. In addition to this, there are other aid programs that award funds based on financial need or merit.
Sometimes as a student, all of the different costs of college can be confusing. How much are enrollment fees? What other fees do I have to pay? What’s the total cost of attending college? We’ve provided all of this information for you below so you will always know upfront what your fees pay for and how much they cost.
Paying for college may seem daunting, but you are not alone! There are many resources at LBCC that can help you cover the costs of being a student so that you can focus on your studies and succeed!
The Financial Aid Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, or are dismissed. Prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, the federal Title IV financial aid programs must be recalculated in these situations. Long Beach City College will use the date of complete withdrawal or drop to determine the amount of federal aid that is “earned” based on the amount of time the student was enrolled.
