• Spring Financial Aid Disbursements change! You will receive 100% of your Pell Grant for the Spring semester in January. There will not be a 2nd disbursement sent in March. Cal Grants and Direct Loans will be disbursed the same way in February. Plan now. Changes in the computer system make this necessary for this semester. Watch here for more information as it becomes available.

  • If you’re a new Cal Grant B recipient who hasn’t verified your high school graduation date with the California Student Aid Commission funds can’t be disbursed to you. Contact the LBCC Financial Aid Office to verify the date.

  • To receive your Spring loan disbursement, you must complete an exit interview online or attend a meeting in December (date & time TBD). You don’t need to do both.

  • Apply for financial aid online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you qualify, you will automatically receive a fee waiver that pays for classes for California residents.

  • FAFSA Workshops are available at both campuses. You can use one of our computers to enter your FAFSA or get assistance from a rep from our office. LAC workshops are on Wednesdays at 11:00 in Room 255 in the Library. PCC workshops are on Tuesdays at 3:00 in BB233. Bring your completed FAFSA on the Web Worksheet.

  • FAFSA on the Web Worksheets are available in our office or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov If you need help completing the Worksheet see a Financial Aid Specialist.

  • All fa applicants have additional forms to complete. We’ll send you a letter about 2 weeks after you apply telling you the forms you need to submit online or in our office. Don’t submit any forms that we haven’t requested. They will be shredded.

  • Higher One ATMs are located in the cafeteria at LAC and next to the Cashier’s Office at PCC. Withdrawals can be made up to $500. Use the debit card to make purchases or order checks from Higher One to avoid carrying large sums of cash and trips to the ATM.
