Financial assistance at Lawrence Tech is granted without regard to an applicant's race, sex, color, age, handicap, marital status, or national or ethnic origin. The financial aid application procedure for both new and enrolled students interested in state or federal programs is as follows:

  • Contact the Office of Financial Aid for the FAFSA form to apply for the federal or state financial aid programs – or download the FAFSA application from  studentaid.gov .
  • Complete the form and mail it as instructed before the published application deadlines. It’s simple to return the completed document on line.
  • Processing generally takes six to eight weeks. New students are notified of their financial aid awards in April. Returning students are notified of their awards in July.

You can borrow directly from the federal government. You can complete a Master Promissory Note at  studentaid.gov .

Financial aid funds are awarded on the basis of need, unless otherwise indicated on fund applications. Students with the greatest need, as determined by a financial statement, receive the first chance at financial aid monies available. Students who apply by April 1 receive the maximum consideration for all funding available. Those who apply after April 1 have limited opportunities for receiving financial aid.

Personal expenses for room, board, clothing, recreation, laundry, travel, books and incidentals vary according to individual lifestyle. An estimate for total costs can be made by adding tuition and fees to these items. The Office of Financial Aid can assist students in arriving at these estimates.

No. Guest students are not eligible to receive financial aid.

All students receiving financial aid are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Undergraduate students receiving any type of financial aid must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0. If this is not met, students stand the chance of losing their financial aid for the next academic year. Students are also expected to make normal progress toward graduation. Those who withdraw from more than one-third of their enrolled courses during the year (two semesters including summer school) do not meet standards of progress. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for information concerning the appeal and renewal procedure when standards of progress are not met.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (SAP)

Lawrence Tech reserves the right to request from its students, Federal IRS 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ income tax information for the entire family for verification of financial information. Students refusing to provide family income tax information may be denied financial aid. For families not filing a federal tax form, other types of verification will be required.

Contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and request a transcript by the automated system or you may complete Form 4506-T , Request for transcript of tax return and mail it to the address indicted on the form or drop off at the One Stop Center and we will fax it for you. You should receive your transcript within 10-15 days or have it mailed directly to Lawrence Tech.

Financial aid may be reduced or canceled if a student takes less than 12 credit hours per semester. Award amounts for need-based financial aid are based on the number of credit hours attempted and a student's demonstrated financial need. Students planning to drop all or part of their classes should contact enrollmentservices@ltu.edu to discuss any effect on their financial aid awards. For more information on partially or completely withdrawing from classes, visit the Registrar’s web page, or contact enrollmentservices@ltu.edu .

You may be billed for a portion or all of your charges if you withdraw from the university.
