Admissions
The mission of St. Louis Community College Forest Park is to provide high-quality and low-cost education to the people of the community. STLCC has an open admissions policy which means there is no minimum test score or academic GPA needed for admissions requirements. However, there are certain programs that students must take, such as additional testing, before they can be admitted into the college. Students must be admitted into STLCC before they are allowed to register for classes. All new and former students must complete an admissions application— either online, by mail, or in person. Additionally, prospective high school graduates and new students must submit official transcripts to be considered for admission into the college.
Financial Aid
STLCC offers financial aid through the school. Financial aid is offered in four different ways: through grants, scholarships, loans and work study. Generally, financial aid is awarded to those who can show they are in financial need; however, those who have a good academic background and are extremely talented are usually offered aid from STLCC.
St. Louis Community College suggests that students visit the FAFSA website and complete the free financial aid form. The earlier the student completes this process, the greater the opportunity to have eligibility for assistance determined in a timely manner. In completing the FAFSA form, the student will need his or her tax information or the tax information of their parents.
