Fund a Scholarship

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
