How To Apply

You must complete the following steps in order to receive financial aid. These steps must be completed each academic year that you wish to receive financial aid. Keep in mind that the priority deadline is April 1, so submit all documentation as quickly as possible to allow time for processing. If you miss the priority deadline, don't worry! You can still apply throughout the year because funds are typically available year-round.

Step 1: Submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) through the U.S. Department of Education. If this is your first time completing a FAFSA, start by getting your PIN.
Note: The following school code is required for the FAFSA and LSCS financial aid applications: 011145

Step 2: Submit your Financial Aid Worksheet (PDF) to LSC. View the Terms and Conditions governing financial aid at Lone Star College. Applying for aid indicates your agreement to the terms and conditions.

Step 3: Complete the Direct Card Authorization form (bottom of page 2 on the Financial Aid Worksheet).
Note: If you have applied for a student loan, you must complete and return the Direct Card Authorization form to your Financial Aid office before your loan application can be processed, certified, and funds disbursed.

Mail the completed forms to the Financial Aid office of the Lone Star College System college offering the majority of your courses. View all financial aid forms.
