Grants
Lamar Community College administers a number of grant programs available to undergraduate students. Colorado State Grants, which are generally $750 to $1,500 each year, are restricted to Colorado residents. Residents and nonresidents may qualify for a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, which ranges between $500 to $1,000 per year. Additionally, the institution administers the Federal Pell Grant Program for qualified undergraduates. The Federal Government establishes the dollar limits on these grants each year. All grants may be renewed providing the student continues to document need and maintains satisfactory academic progress.
Loans
Lamar Community College participates in the Federal Stafford Loan Program and
the Federal Parents' Loan for Dependent Students (PLUS) Program. Loan amounts
vary depending on need and on maximum limits established by Federal regulations.
Work-study
The Federal and State (eligible Colorado residents only) College Work-Study Program,
administered by the Academic Advancement Program Office, provides part-time employment
opportunities for qualified students. Students average 12 hours of work per week
and earn between $1,000 and $2,000 total per academic year. Awards are based
on an evaluation of students' financial need.
A No-Need Work-Study Program also is available to residents. Students do not
have to document financial need to receive no-need Work Study.
Interested students should contact Teale Hemphill at 719-336-1590 or by email
