Workshops
To ensure accurate completion of the FAFSA, be sure to

Process
Students will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from
the Department of Education. The schools listed on the
application will receive the information electronically.
To be considered for aid, new students must complete
a Lee College admissions application, available at
www.applytexas.org. Students may be required to
submit tax returns and other documents to the
Financial Aid Office before the process is complete.
Financial Aid Orientation and Awards
Financial aid orientations are required of all federal
recipients receiving PELL grants and student loans.
Students who qualify for financial aid may use the
funds for tuition and fees and bookstore expenses for
education-related items. If eligible, students will be
sent an award notification by mail and can view their
award through their account on myLC. To complete the
process, students must accept their award and can do
this by clicking on the link available on the students’
myLC account and attend a financial aid orientation
session.
Priority Deadlines
Students are encouraged to submit their financial aid
application as early as possible in order to have funds
available prior to their class registration. Financial aid
applications are completed when the FAFSA is submitted
with Lee College listed on the application and all
documents requested are submitted to the Lee College
Financial Aid Office. The new FAFSA year begins July 1.
Eligible students who meet the following priority
deadlines will be able to use funds for registration:
• Summer II April 15
• Fall April 15
• Spring November 1
• Summer I March 1
Students who apply or submit documents after these
dates must pay their expenses (tuition, fees and supplies)
and may be reimbursed later if funds are granted.
Retroactive funds – Some forms of financial aid, such as
the Pell Grant, are retroactive if students apply after the
priority deadlines and meet requirements. June 30 is
the last day to submit the FAFSA for the previous
academic year.
Resignation

point in the semester and resign from school will be
required to repay financial aid monies.
