Applying for Financial Aid
Applying
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The application
is available in January of each year. This application can be found
online at FAFSA.ed.gov. Paper
applications are available at the financial aid office, high school
guidance counseling offices and local libraries. Include Lee College (school
code 003583) on your school choice list. Lee College does
host internet
sessions where students can key the FAFSA in online. These sessions
are manned by a financial aid staff member. Check the schedule on the
Financial Aid Homepage.
- Submit all documents requested by Lee College. Documents
are requested based on your responses on the FAFSA. The Department
of Education holds the school responsible for meeting income and household
size verification (verification worksheets, W-2’s and 1040’s)
requirements for selected applicants as well as other database information.
- Once you receive your award letter, return the enclosed acknowledgement form to the Financial Aid Office. You will also be able to see your awards on iCampus under financial services menus.
- Submit the Lee College Foundation Scholarship form by the printed
deadline on the application along with a copy of your most recent transcript
if you are interested in our scholarship program.
General Eligibility Requirements:
To qualify for financial aid at Lee College, applicants
must:
- Be accepted for admission or be enrolled in a degree or certificate
program.
- Not be in default on any loan.
- Not owe a refund on a loan, grant or scholarship.

Receiving Funds:
Funds are posted to a student account immediately after the census date for all students who completed the financial aid process early. The college has a disbursement schedule for all applicants whose aid process is complete after the start of class. Checks for overages are routinely mailed to the student within 2 weeks (14 days) after the aid is posted. The disbursement/refund schedule can be found on the news board at www.lee.edu/financialaid. . Awarded students may apply to have their refunds released via debit card or direct deposit from the iCampus financial aid award page. These funds, including refund checks (the default choice), will be processed by Sallie Mae Business Solutions.
Fund amounts are posted based on your enrollment status as of the census date or date you were awarded (whichever is later). The following chart will help you determine how much you can expect to be posted to your account.
