Student Success Fund

About the Student Success Fund

The Foundation provides at least $50,000 annually to assist students who are most at risk for abandoning their education due to financial hardship. Student Success funds not only help students in need with emergency funding, but also help the college maintain quality instruction because the funds stay on campus. Since the inception of LCC’s Student Success Fund, we have awarded over $625,000 in emergency grants to 1,019 students. The average student award is around $600.

These one-time grants mean the difference between success and failure for students who are on their way to graduation.

The Student Success Fund helps students with:

• Tuition and fees not covered by scholarships, financial aid or grants
• Testing fees
• Tools and other school supplies
• Emergency housing and heating costs
• Emergency childcare expenses
• Emergency transportation
• Other unforeseen emergency expenses barring students from degree completion
