Lehigh Carbon Community College

Financial debts erasure

Lehigh Carbon Community College has erased the financial debt of 1,065 students using nearly $1.1 million in federal coronavirus relief funds. The college received these funds through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act and used them to help students with overdue bills or unpaid tuition balances.

This one-time initiative was designed to help students get back on their feet and continue to meet their educational goals. Students interested in enrolling in the fall semester Aug. 21 and who need help with tuition or have semergency needs are encouraged to apply for available emergency grants. For information, visit www.lccc.edu/about-lccc/news/lccc-provides-emergency-funds-for-students-imp-(1)).

CRRSAA funds were automatically applied to pay off student debt over the past year; students were not required to apply for the funds. The funds were available to students who either had their accounts sent to collections or before that happened, allowing them to re-enroll for classes. Normally, students can’t re-enroll if they have an outstanding debt with the college.

Students who have still unmet needs or need to set up a payment plan for their tuition and fees should contact the bursar1@mymail.lccc.edu or call 610-799-1157. The college maintains a debt relief policy for students who have challenges with tuition bills. For information, visit lccc.edu/tuition-financial-aid/academic-debt-relief-policy.
