Grants

Federal Pell Grant

After completing and submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, students will receive a Student Aid Report, (SAR), with an official expected family contribution (EFC) number.   This number will determine eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant. Federal Pell Grant amounts are prorated based on the enrollment status of each student per semester. Students may only receive Pell grants for 12 full time semesters.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

These grants are awarded by Lehigh Carbon Community College from funds allocated by the federal government. Award amounts will vary based on financial need, Pell grant eligibility, the enrollment status of the student, and the availability of funds.

Grow PA Scholarship

Students at Lehigh Carbon Community College are eligible to receive a $5,000 scholarship per year thanks to a new Grow PA Scholarship, which helps students pay for school and builds the workforce in Pennsylvania for in-demand occupations.

These $5,000 scholarships are available each year on a first-come, first-served basis and are administered through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Students who receive the scholarship can make their money go further by studying at a community college and will receive guidance from LCCC’s Career Development Center on pursuing an in-demand career. In-demand occupations include agriculture, computer science, business, education, special education, STEM education, engineering, nursing, allied health, criminal justice and other programs approved by PHEAA.

Students who received a state grant for attendance at another institution prior to attending LCCC must also provide an academic transcript from the school previously attended to the Financial Aid Office at Lehigh Carbon Community College. Students enrolled in all developmental courses are not eligible for a state grant.
