Funds for Living Expenses
Can I receive financial aid to help with living expenses?
That all depends on your financial aid awards. Whether or not you will have excess funding after tuition and fees have been paid depends on the type of aid you were eligible to receive. Students with high amounts of grant funding often have loan or work study eligibility that can assist with living expenses. Students with little or no grant funding may have to use their loan funds to pay for tuition and fees and may not have excess funding to assist with other costs.
There are, however, other loan programs that students or their parents can apply for to assist with living costs.The SELF loan, PLUS loan and alternative loans are explained at http://www.lsc.edu/financialaid/loans.cfm.
