What is financial aid?

Financial aid is money that students use to help pay for their post-secondary education. This money may come from federal, state or private sector sources and may include grants, loans and work study.

Where can I get all the information I need?

You can find complete information about financial aid at the LSC Financial Aid webpage.

How do I find out if I am eligible for financial aid?

You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

If you do not have internet access, contact the Federal Student Aid program at 1-800-433-3243 and request that a paper FAFSA be mailed to you.

Lake Superior College will receive information regarding your FAFSA approximately five business days after you have electronically filed. At that time, we will contact you for any additional information we may need through e-Services, LSC email and mail. Once your file is complete, you will receive (have online access) a financial aid award notification in your e-Services listing the types of financial aid you are eligible to receive.

Which FAFSA should I complete?

The financial aid award year begins in July and ends the following June. You must file a new FAFSA for each award year. The FAFSA for the following award year is available in October prior to the start of the award year.

Where can I get more information about financial aid?

The LSC Financial Aid website has a variety of useful information, including links to the LSC Foundation Scholarship Program, national scholarship searches, government financial aid websites, and other available sources of funding. You may also call the LSC Student Services Center at (218) 733-7601, 1-800-432-2884 ext 7601 or email at [email protected].

Do I have to use my parent’s income when I file?

The Department of Education has defined which students are considered “dependent” on their parents and which students are considered “independent” of their parents. Refer to Section 2 of the FAFSA Worksheet to determine your dependency status. If you cannot answer “yes” to any of the questions, you will be considered a dependent student and will need to provide parent information on the FAFSA. If you can answer “yes” to at least one question in that section, you will be considered an independent student and will not need to provide parent information on your FAFSA.

My parent had to report two year’s prior income on the FAFSA; however, that income has now decreased. Is there anything I can do about that?

Yes. If your parent(s) have had an involuntary loss of either taxed or untaxed income, you may request that a professional judgment be made. This allows financial aid officers to use current year expected income instead of the income that was reported on the FAFSA. Professional judgment forms are available. The professional judgment can only be done after the FAFSA is completed using the designated year’s income information. This is an optional process subject to approval.

My parents have divorced. Which parent’s income should I use on the FAFSA?

Use the parent that you lived with most during the past 12 months. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, use the parent who provided more financial support during the past 12 months, or during the most recent year that you actually received support from a parent. If that parent has remarried, you must provide information using your parent’s and step-parent’s income, even if the step-parent has not supported you.

How do I check the status of my financial aid and view my award notification?

You may check your financial aid status by accessing the e-Services section on the LSC website under “Login.” You will sign into e-Services with your StarID and Password. If you do not have a StarID yet, click on the “Sign Up Now” link on this page and follow the directions. If you need assistance with your StarID, please visit starid.minnstate.edu or call (218) 733-1016. Once you are signed into your e-Services, click on the Financial Aid tab on the left panel to view your status. Click “Change semester” at the top if you wish to view different semesters of your financial aid status.
