Tamara Coots helps keep LWC students healthy, educated Tamara Coots' title at Lindsey Wilson College is director of health services, but she could also be called "student health adviser." Coots oversees the college's student health services center in the basement of Phillips Hall, where she and the college's seven athletic trainers meet students' wide range of health and medical needs. Coots, who is also a clinical instructor in Lindsey Wilson's top-ranked nursing program, stays plenty busy during the semester. For example, last fall, she saw about 350 students, which averaged about 30 visits a week. Through a special arrangement with Cumberland Family Medical, Lindsey Wilson's health services center offers students and employees many of the benefits of visiting a doctor, thanks to a telehealth service called Tyto Care.

College students should plan to file FAFSA early in 2025 Click headline to see schedule of free Lindsey Wilson FAFSA workshops for students. January is a critical month for students who plan to attend college in 2025-26. That's when students should work on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid. "One of the things that all college students and prospective college students should resolve to do in January is to start working on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid," said Lindsey Wilson College Director of Student Financial Aid Audrey Price. "It's one of the most important processes a student will complete." Better known as the FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the bedrock of almost all colleges' student financial aid. On the federal level, the FAFSA is used to determine if a student is available for a Pell grant, a need-based grant which ranges from $740 to $7,395 for eligible students. For Kentucky residents who attend a Kentucky college or university, the FAFSA is used to help determine if a student is eligible to receive a College Access Program grant, a need-based grant worth up to $5,300. The FAFSA is also used to award a Kentucky Tuition Grant, a need-based grant worth up to $3,300 that Kentucky residents can use at one of the commonwealth's 18 independent colleges or universities, such as Lindsey Wilson.
