Completing Your FAFSA with LCCC
Millions of students around the country receive financial aid every year from the U.S. Department of Education. To see if you qualify for financial aid, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as a FAFSA.
You must complete a FAFSA online through the Federal Student Aid web page. If you need help completing the form, our Office of Financial Aid is happy to assist you.
When and Where Can I Get FAFSA Support?
We offer a few different options to help you file a FAFSA.
- Main Campus – Drop-in hours are available Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Morgan Center, Tamaqua – Schedule an appointment Monday-Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Donley Center, Allentown – FAFSA Completion Workshops are available Wednesdays 1 p.m.-2 p.m. or by appointment. Please register online.
What Do I Need to Bring with Me?
To successfully complete your FAFSA, please bring the following:
- Your and your parents’ FSA ID
- We strongly recommend you create an FSA ID, which is a username and password combination that allows you to sign your FAFSA form electronically. Your FSA ID also can be used to sign loan contracts and to access certain information online. While you can get your FSA ID as you’re completing the FAFSA form, getting it ahead of time and using it to begin your FAFSA form cuts down on errors and delays.
- Your Social Security number (it’s important that you enter it correctly on the FAFSA form)
- Your parents’ Social Security numbers if you are a dependent student
- Your driver’s license number (if you have one)
- Your Alien Registration number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- Federal tax information or tax returns, including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married) and for your parents (if you are a dependent student)
- IRS 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ
- Foreign tax return, if applicable
- Tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or Palau, if applicable
- Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and veterans’ non-education benefits, for you and your parents (if you are a dependent student)
- Information on cash, savings and checking account balances, investments including stocks and bonds and real estate (but not including the home in which you live), and business and farm assets for you and your parents (if you are a dependent student)
You must bring all the necessary information listed above, or you will not be able to complete your application.
