Paying for college can be challenging, let us help you along the way. Whether you need help with the FAFSA, understanding your college costs, applying for scholarships or other financial aid questions, we are here for you!
Scroll down for scholarship opportunities, sites to search for more scholarships, tips and make sure to come back January 17th to apply for the Limestone Local Scholarships which are only available to LCHS students.
In 2023 it is estimated that near $100 million in scholarships and $4 Billion went unclaimed. Beyond that near $4 Billion in Pell Grants went unclaimed because students did not complete their FAFSA.
This is money that does not need to be paid back and is available for just a little time.
Already accepted to college? Make sure to check out their financial aid page (usually found with admissions) to see what scholarships they have available. You can also speak with your admissions counselor for additional help in applying for school specific scholarships.
If after you have received your initial awards letter you still need assistance, speak with the financial aid office at the college and let them know. They can often help with more aid.
Below you will find some links to scholarship search sites. Make sure to read all details and pay attention to deadlines. Remember DO NOT pay for any scholarship searches. If something seems off please check with your parents or counselor before starting.
Students who plan to attend ICC and have lived in City of Peoria for the last four consecutive years may qualify for the Peoria Promise which grants partial or full tuition reimbursement for ICC students. Check HERE for eligibility and HERE for more information.
Financial Aid can be overwhelming, sit down as a family and have a conversation about what you can afford and what your limits are.
Make sure to calculate the cost over all four years of college.
In some cases going to ICC first does not save you money over the complete 4 years.
Ask about work-study programs available at the school or if the career center can help you find a job while in school. But make sure you have enough time to study.
Every little bit counts, don't ignore a scholarship because it is small
Pay attention to the details, some financial aid will be tied to your grades and failing to maintain the required GPA, can result in the loss of the aid.
Ask questions, Ask for help.
