Does Linn-Benton Community College offer any scholarships for incoming students? I'm planning to apply and want to know about available financial aid options and how to apply for scholarships.
Yes, Linn-Benton Community College does offer scholarships for incoming students. These scholarships are provided through the LBCC Foundation, which awards over $400,000 each year to students. Scholarships range from $500 to full tuition and are funded by individuals, businesses, and organizations within the community.
The LBCC Foundation's scholarship application for the following academic year usually opens in November and closes in March. However, it's a good idea to confirm these dates on the college's website as they can change.
The LBCC Foundation Scholarships application process is carried out online. To apply, you'll need to fill out the application form on the LBCC Foundation's Scholarships webpage. It's noteworthy that the application process is competitive; thus, you should take time to carefully complete the application and submit it before the deadline.
Keep in mind, your completed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or ORSAA (Oregon Student Aid Application) is required for most LBCC Foundation Scholarships. These forms would help to determine your eligibility for need-based scholarships.
Additionally, Linn-Benton Community College grants you access to Appily, a scholarship search service, which you can use to find external scholarship opportunities.
In conclusion, ensure you fill out and submit your applications as soon as they open to increase your chances of receiving a scholarship. It's also a good idea to meet with a financial aid adviser at the college, who can provide guidance on other potential resources or aid programs. Good luck with your applications!
