  • 305 Lakeshore Technical College students received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant through the CARES ACT (as reported on Lakeshore’s Annual Performance Report, submitted to the Department of Education on 2/1/2021). 
  • Lakeshore Technical College implemented specific methodology to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants through the CARES Act, and how much they receive. The college plans to distribute funds to as many students as possible while focusing on those with the greatest financial need. Using the application responses and any follow up documentation, reviewers verify eligibility based on CARES Act specifications and demonstrated need due to disruption of college operations.
    • Demonstrated needs considered include:
      • Use of the college’s childcare services
      • Use of the college’s health services
      • Use of the college’s food and personal care pantry
      • Course technology, materials and supplies provided by the college
    • Further evaluation is based on:
      • A FAFSA already on file for the student
      • No FAFSA on file, but the student will file (assistance can be provided to students interested in filing)
      • No FAFSA on file and the student is not interested in filing (a separate form is required in order to determine eligibility)
    • Eligible applicants are awarded the following based on FASFA eligibility, Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and demonstrated need. Awards will not exceed the cost of attendance ($6,195).
      • Student EFC higher than 5576 = $1,000 award per term
      • Student EFC is 1-5576 = $1,500 award per term
      • Student EFC is 0 = $2,000 award per term
  • Information and directions relating to Emergency Financial Aid Grants are located on our website at https://gotoltc.edu/cares-help.
