For 2018, the total number of summer classes offered
has been expanded to 14, including six online classes and eight
traditional format classes. Subjects include biology, business,
communications, English, geography, math, philosophy, political
science, psychology and sport management.
“These courses are a great opportunity for students already enrolled
at Lincoln College, as well as for adult learners and high school
students who want to jump-start their college education,” said
Michelle Baldwin, Dean of Faculty and Instruction at Lincoln
College.
“Best of all, we are able to offer a discounted rate to Logan County
residents and to dual credit students at Illini Central in Mason
City. The assistance will significantly reduce the cost of these
classes, making them very competitive with public university and
college classes, including community college classes,” Baldwin
added.
The discounted rate for Logan County and Illini Central students is
$140 per credit hour, which is competitive with community college
rates and below the cost of most public universities.
Baldwin also pointed out that the summer classes, like all courses
at Lincoln College, do not require students to purchase text books,
since all book rentals are included in the tuition cost at Lincoln
College.
In addition, federal Pell Grants can be applied to
summer school for students who are eligible. Because summer school
falls under the 2017-18 school year, new students must be sure they
complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) for 2017-18,
even if they have already completed a FAFSA for the 2018-19 school
year.

Baldwin explained that this could mean additional assistance for
incoming students, because the summer Pell Grant funds would not count against
their maximum for next school year. For students already enrolled at a college
or university who have not used their full 2017-18 Pell Grant allocation,
remaining funds can be used for summer school.
Eligible High school students can receive dual credit for the
courses – which means they can meet their high school credit requirements while
also earning college credits for the classes. However, dual credit students are
not eligible for Pell Grant assistance, as federal Pell Grants are not available
to high school students.
The Lincoln College financial aid office (217-735-7231 or
lclfinancialaid@
lincolncollege.edu ) is available to guide students through the FAFSA
process and provide other financial aid information. For registration
information, students can go to the Lincoln College website: lincolncollege.edu
or call the school at 217-732-3155 or 1-800-569-0556.
