Lincoln College Online

These days, many of us face financial concerns in our day-to-day lives. That’s why at Lincoln, we do all we can help you get the financial assistance you need.

College is an investment in your future, one of the best you’ll ever make. You should be prepared to pay for part of your Lincoln education. You can expect to work very closely with an experienced Financial Aid Advisor at Lincoln, someone who will guide you through every step of the financial aid application process and explain all of your options to you.

Financial assistance at Lincoln comes in three major forms. These include grants, loans and veterans’ benefits.

• Grants: Because Lincoln is nationally accredited, our students qualify for federal Title IV grants. These are grants from the federal government to help you pay for your education. They’re not loans; you don’t have to pay them back.

• Loans: Several types of loans are available to Lincoln students.

- Stafford Loans - These are loans from the federal government and must be paid back.

- Parent Plus Loans - If you’re classified as a dependent student (dependent on your parents), your parents may qualify for a Plus Loan to help you pay for college.

- Alternative Loans - The loans described above are from the federal government. If you don’t qualify for one of them, our Financial Assistance office can help you apply for an Alternative Loan from another source.

• Veterans’ Benefits: If you’re a veteran, our Financial Assistance office will help you apply for educational benefits from the Veterans Administration. This is money that’s paid directly to you every month to help you pay for college.
