NEW! $525 CALIFORNIA COVID EMERGENCY GRANTS for FALL 2022
2022 State Fiscal Recovery Funds Emergency Financial Assistance Grants are available for LPC students who are California residents or AB540-eligible, to provide emergency financial aid for low-income students due to Covid. We will begin awarding $525 grants in December 2022 to qualified students until funds are expended.
DETAILS ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE GRANTS:
● The 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Application (CADAA) is your application for the grant (the 2023-2024 FAFSA/CADAA is the wrong year). IF you haven’t applied yet, it is not too late. We will continue to provide funds until they are fully expended, but don’t wait or the funds may be gone! Students are encouraged to also apply for 2023-2024 after filing for 2022-2023, to apply for aid for next year.
● LPC must be your official college of record and your 2022-2023 FAFSA or CADAA must be submitted for Las Positas College. If your official college or your Financial Aid Application is Chabot College we cannot process your grant nor any financial aid funds unless both your college and your financial aid application college match.
● Your 2022-2023 FAFSA or CADAA must indicate an ‘Expected Family Contribution’ or it is invalid.
● Concurrently-enrolled high school students are not eligible.
● You must be enrolled in 6 or more units at the time the funds are disbursed.
● FAFSA filers must be citizens or eligible noncitizens in a legal immigration status as determined by your FAFSA results or documentation.
● You must be eligible for the CCPG Fee Waiver and must have at least $500 in unmet financial need to qualify.
● CADAA filers must apply for and be approved for AB-540 status through Admissions to qualify. http://www.laspositascollege.edu/admissions/assets/docs/2022ab540intersegaffidavit.pdf
Payment for FAFSA filers is provided through BankMobile; all recipients must select a refund delivery method to receive their funds. Contact our financial aid office if you need assistance with setting up your bankmobile refund.
AB540 students who file a CADAA will be mailed a check directly from the district business office. Please ensure your current college mailing address is accurate through admissions to ensure delivery.
ATTENTION! Did your (or your family’s) income drop significantly in 2021 or 2022 due to covid or other reasons? If so consider filing a Special Circumstance/EFC Appeal AFTER we receive your initial FAFSA results, or speak to a financial aid advisor. This allows us to reduce your FAFSA income so that you may qualify for financial aid, or for additional aid, based on your more recent financial situation instead of relying on 2020 information which is used for your FAFSA/CADAA.
For assistance with your application or questions please contact the Financial Aid Office at lpcfinaid@laspositascollege.edu, email us at finaid@laspositascollege.edu, phone (925) 424-1580, or visit our office on the second floor of Building 1600.
Federal Cares Act Emergency Grants and Covid Resources
Free Money for all students enrolled in 3 or more units!
FEDERAL HEERF III/CARES ACT EMERGENCY GRANTS
LPC has less than $300,000 HEERF III/CARES EMERGENCY FUNDS remaining to spend.
Funds are currently being utilized to pay off student’s accounts with outstanding
debts of $100 or more owed to the college which were incurred between Spring 2020
(when the covid emergency first began) and summer 2022. Students must apply for LPC
debt relief through an online application, and must not have received a prior account
payoff to qualify. Students may inquire at the Financial Aid Office.
Later in spring term 2023, remaining CARES funds will be provided as grants. Criteria
will be determined at that time, but funds will be very limited.
Only students who have submitted a 2022-2023 FAFSA or CADAA will be considered for a grant.
For assistance with your application or questions please contact the Financial Aid Office at lpcfinaid@laspositascollege.edu, visit our office on the second floor of Building 1600, or contact us through Cranium Café during posted hours (http://www.laspositascollege.edu/financialaid/cranium-cafe.php)
