The Mission Statement of our office is "CLC Financial Aid efficiently assists students in the process of obtaining funds and supports a positive college experience as an achievable goal."  To go along with this mission, we are guided by the principles "Students come first, We must take care of ourselves and We must be respectful of others".

Central Lakes College is dedicated to bringing the highest quality of education within reach of every person who has a desire to pursue a college education.  The Financial Aid Office at CLC has developed a comprehensive financial aid program based on federal, state, institutional and private resources to help cover the cost of education.  CLC annually awards assistance to about 70 percent of its student body.  Therefore, no prospective student should hesitate to apply for admission because of financial circumstance.  The CLC Financial Aid staff encourages all students to apply for financial aid.
