Lake Michigan College will hold a FAFSA Assistance Night this month. LMC staff will be available to answer questions and help students apply for financial aid. Students of all ages who plan to attend college in the next academic year are encouraged to attend, even if they’re undecided or planning to attend a school other than LMC. LMC Director of Admissions Jeremy Schaeffer tells WSJM News understanding assistance options is an important part of enrolling in college.

“Federal financial aid helps so many students be able to attend college,” Schaeffer said. “Some students can even attend their local community colleges for free based on the amount of funding they’re able to receive through this. So it’s a critical piece for those students to get them to a place where college is an affordable opportunity.”

Schaeffer says this is a chance for a student to have someone explain and guide them through the process of applying for aid. Financial Aid Night will be Thursday, February 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Student Services Area inside the main building entrance at LMC’s Benton Harbor campus.
