奖学金及奖项 are critically important to the College and to our students. 奖学金 motivate students, provide incentives and create an enhanced learning environment by encouraging a greater diversity of students. 最后, these awards set an example to students of giving and support that will stay with them for a lifetime. Many people remember the scholarships and awards they received as students, and realize how much it helped them on their path to success.

Creating scholarships and awards is easy through the LCCC 基金会.

Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Decide what you want to accomplish with your scholarship or award. Are you providing support for those with financial need or rewarding those who achieve above average status? Are you doing this to honor someone, remember a loved one, or for another reason?
  2. Decide how much to contribute. Will you make a donation every year (a term award) or perhaps create an endowment fund that will be a legacy to you and your purposes, and generate income for the future? Endowments and larger term funds may be paid in installments for up to five years.
  3. Write your check to “LCCC 基金会” and contact the 基金会 to set up a fund. The paperwork is simple, short and easy to understand. And we will help you craft your fund to the particular purposes you hope to achieve.
  4. Give again, and encourage others to support your fund.
  5. 如果你选择, the LCCC 基金会 can arrange for you to meet the recipients of your scholarship, so you can learn first-hand the impact you have made.

Types of 奖学金及奖项

制作一份学期奖励礼物.
Gifts up to $499 a year may be designated for use as awards to students. (A scholarship begins at $500.) The 基金会 will add your gift to the General Scholarship Fund and make the award in the designated amount each year in which there are sufficient funds to do so. You may select a criterion for the award (merit or financial need) and even a discipline (for example, 护理, 商业或科技.)

Make checks payable to “LCCC 基金会” and put the name of the award in the Memo section. We will complete a simple, two-page agreement that will open the award fund, to which you and anyone else may contribute throughout the year.

Make A Term Scholarship Gift.
As little as $500 given each academic year can be used to set up a term scholarship. You may choose the amount of the scholarship to be awarded and how many students will receive it each year. You may also choose the criterion (merit or financial need or both) and other details depending on the purpose and amount of your gift.

To continue the award each year, the fund will have to receive sufficient donations, 从你或别人, on or before a giving date that we will agree upon.

Term scholarships usually fund tuition and fees 对于即将到来的学期. Special term scholarships in larger amounts can also help with books, supplies and equipment for disciplines that require special purchases, like the healthcare and art programs. Gifts can also be made to the 基金会’s General Scholarship fund to support the $75,000 in annual scholarships provided by the 基金会 to LCCC.

Make An Endowed Scholarship Gift.
An endowed scholarship is a fund that pays awards from interest income only, retaining the principal in perpetuity. Endowed scholarships support themselves. The initial gift (a minimum of $10,投资了000美元。, and the scholarship awards are paid each year from a set amount agreed upon when the fund is established. Depending on the value of the fund, this can either be a set amount, such as $500 on a fund of $10,000, or a set percentage of the income of the fund, such as 5% of the income form funds valued at $20,000及以上. The LCCC 基金会 handles all investing and return administration and there is NEVER a fee for this service.

ALL of your contributions are used to generate scholarships either directly or through their earnings. Revenue from endowed scholarships is not available for awards until one year after the minimum investment amount has been reached, so donors usually make an additional gift of the first year’s award, although this is not required.

认识你的学生.
The LCCC 基金会 encourages scholarship donors to meet or correspond with their awardees, to learn about the people whom you have impacted with your gracious giving. Many students wish to thank their benefactors for their generosity and spirit of support.
