Support Students in Need – Make a Difference Today!

Financial barriers often stand in the way of students pursuing their college education. For some, it's the cost of books or childcare; for others, an unexpected financial crisis forces them to put their dreams on hold. Unfortunately, once a student leaves, they may never return.

That’s why The Daily News’ “Students In Need” Campaign is so important. Take Juliet’s story—she grew up believing college wasn’t meant for “someone like her.” Feeling unseen and unworthy, she never imagined higher education was within reach. But after having daughters of her own, she was determined to rewrite her story. With support from the LCC Foundation, Juliet persevered and is continuing her education at LCC with her bachelor’s degree while teaching in our community.

 

This is just one example of how your generosity can change a student’s life!

 

Join The Daily News “Students In Need” Campaign now through June 30 and help students stay on the path to success.
