Types of Financial Aid
There are several types of financial aid available to LSCS students:
Financial Aid Requirements
All students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements to receive financial aid at LSCS. Federal regulations require all financial aid recipients to maintain SAP in a course of study leading toward a college degree, certificate, or educational objective.
Students will be denied financial aid for failure to meet SAP requirements.
Tuition & Fees
Attending LSC is an affordable option for most students. Our tuition rates are based on residency and if you need help footing the bill, financial aid is available to most students. And so are payment plans!
Disbursements & Refunds
There are strict guidelines for receiving disbursements and refunds. Student financial aid accounts may be accessed via myLoneStar.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Meet SAP - Keep your Financial Aid
- Check your grades in myLoneStar Student Portal immediately at the end of the semester.
- If you do not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress, file an appeal immediately.

Return of Title IV Policy/Withdrawing from Classes
If you withdraw from school prior to completing more than 60% of a term, you may be required to repay a portion of the federal financial aid received for the term.
Tax Information
The IRS Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement) is issued to all students attending an eligible educational institution and paid qualified tuition and fees. That information is used to determine if you are eligible to claim an educational credit on your Federal Income Tax Return.
Financial Aid Forms
Many forms are available for the financial aid process. LSCS provides forms for the 2011-2012 academic calendar year. Complete forms carefully and submit them to the financial aid office at your campus.
