Fortify Tomorrow's Workforce

Student Support

We want all our students to thrive throughout their education, while they’re on campus and off, and into their future careers. Your gift to this area helps fund critical scholarships, basic needs support, and enhanced student outreach and onboarding.

Goal for Fortifying Tomorrow's Workforce: $15 Million

Scholarships & Basic Needs Support
Scholarships relieve students of the stress of paying for necessities and allow them to see a future without life-altering debt – making our workforce rich with talent. With your donation, these students can receive academic and basic needs scholarships, allowing them to put energy into their education and bettering their future.

Student Outreach and On-boarding
To serve all our students, our outreach must be welcoming and inclusive with clear pathways to a degree or credential. With your support, we will increase awareness of LCC programs within our community, increase our presence at local high schools, job fairs, and other outreach events, as well as enhance student orientation activities to make resources and academic pathways clear
