The Finish Line Scholarship

Launching September 24: Help Students Cross the Finish Line

Dear LCC Community,

Our students work incredibly hard to reach the final stretch of their education, but sometimes one last financial barrier can stand between them and the finish line.

This Give More 24!, the LCC Foundation is launching the Finish Line Scholarship, a new fund designed specifically for LCC students who have exhausted all other available financial resources and need support to complete their education or transition into the workforce.

For some students, that may mean having just 5, 10, or 15 credits remaining to complete their degree or program, but no financial aid or other resources left to cover the cost. For others, the barrier comes after coursework is complete, when the cost of a required licensing, certification, or workforce exam stands between them and the career they have worked so hard to pursue.

Why Your Gift Matters

After investing months or years into their education, even a relatively small financial gap can put graduation or career plans on hold. A gift could help cover a student's remaining coursework, a required certification, a WABO welding test, the NCLEX-RN nursing exam, or other costs necessary to take that last step from education into the workforce.

The Finish Line Scholarship is intended to be that last resource when other funding options have been exhausted, helping students complete their degree or program, earn their credentials, and move forward into their careers.

From the finish line to the future
