Fund a Scholarship

Scholarships achieve dreams!

LCC nursing student Kala Clarence

When you give in support of LCC scholarships, your generosity helps countless students like Dave and Theresa, pictured, continue their education and achieve their dreams. 

"When I received news of an award from the Foundation, I can't tell you how much it meant to me. Sometimes you just really need that reassurance from outside that all your hard work is noticed." -Dave Vizcaino, Nursing

"My daughter is my inspiration, she is the reason I do it. The Foundation has been a huge part of setting us both up for success. This scholarship has meant that I don't have to work full time and go to school and be a single mother. It is the cushion that I can fall back on to help me meet my goals." - Theresa Williams, Nursing
