With generous funding from the Florida Department of Education, the Open Door Grant assists students in paying their tuition, fees, and book charges for the approved programs. For the 2025-2026 academic year, the Open Door Grant program will only support our non-credit approved programs.

For Credit Students Only

Students registered in the approved programs are evaluated for eligibility automatically before the published fee deadline. Funds added to the student’s financial aid award can be viewed on their myLSSC account under Financial Aid.
