• 2022 Quarter 1 Report
• 2022 Quarter 2 Report

Students who were enrolled during the 2021 spring semester, 2021 summer term, and/or 2021 fall semester and incurred emergency expenses in one of the following areas: tuition, fees, housing, meals, personal expenses, transportation, books and supplies, healthcare (including mental) or child care.

International students and non-U.S. citizens/non-permanent residents ARE eligible.

You are not required to file the FAFSA to be eligible; however, filing the 2021-2022 FAFSA will ensure that you are receiving the largest grant possible. This applies to undergraduate students only who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Non-U.S. citizens/non-permanent residents are not eligible to file.

Based on guidance from ED, the number of eligible students and the allocation LVC received, a committee of staff from the financial aid and business offices developed a methodology that would allow students with the greatest financial need/costs to receive the largest grant amount. Grant amounts are based on the following factors: 1) Degree status (undergraduate vs. graduate), 2) Enrollment status (full-time vs. part-time), 3) Financial need as determined by the expected family contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA – for undergraduate students only. The criteria above will be used for the most recent semester you are enrolled to establish your grant amount.

Grant Amount – Full-time Graduate Students (9 or more credits):  $1,598

Grant Amount – Part-time Graduate Students (1 to 8 credits):  $799
