Grant funding for undergraduate students is expected to be depleted by February 1. It is imperative that all undergraduate Kentucky residents who plan to return to or enroll in the Fall with LWC file their financial aid form this week. Each student could potentially lose approximately $5,000 If they don't submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

You DO NOT have to have your income taxes filed in order to complete the FAFSA. You may go back in once the taxes are filed and update the information.

May your hearts be filled with joy and gladness this Christmas.

It is always bittersweet when our LWC students reach the end of their programs. I am overjoyed for them, but it is hard to let them go. We are family. Tears of joy and a little sadness fill my eyes.
These amazing, help-hearted, counselors-in-training have sacrificed and overcome incredible obstacles along their paths. They have reached their goal and I could not be more proud of and for each and everyone. They will no longer be our students, but colleagues and friends.

Congratulations to those earning their Bachelor of Arts in Human Services, with an emphasis in counseling, and to those earning their Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling and Human Development. I can't wait to see the impact you each have on your world.

Blue Raiders for Life. 💙
