How To Apply For Aid
Academic Scholarship Consideration
All traditional, full-time freshmen and transfer students are automatically considered for academic scholarships and awards once they are granted admission to Lynchburg College.
Applying for Financial Aid and Other Forms of Aid
If you want to apply for need-based financial aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1, 2012. The 2012-2013 FAFSA is applicable for periods of enrollment beginning July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. LC's school code is 003720
You can fill out the FAFSA whether you are applying to an undergraduate or graduate program.
To complete the FAFSA, visit fafsa.gov. When you use LC's school code 003720, the FAFSA results get sent to us automatically.
If you already completed your FAFSA and did not include Lynchburg College's school code, return to fafsa.gov and go to Step #3, or go directly to the FAFSA correction form. Once you have opened the "Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA" page, you can add LC's school code 003720. You will need your Federal Student Aid PIN and password to access your saved FAFSA. After you add LC's school code, your FAFSA results are sent to us automatically. We will then send you a comprehensive financial aid award package that includes aid from College, state and federal programs.
If you need assistance please call 434.544.8228 or email a staff member.
