Our scholarships come from donors who have chosen to give to LBCC to help students
like you! Donors come from different backgrounds resulting in scholarships for various
areas of study. Donors know the juggling act students at LBCC have with school, work,
and family. They give to help support students often seeking to help hard working
students with a compelling story for financial need. Merit and top grades are not
as important to many donors as making your education a top priority and reaching your
goals of a degree.

Are you currently admitted or enrolled at LBCC as a degree-seeking student? If yes,
you can apply for scholarships!
Applicants must have at least a 2.0 GPA, and some scholarships do require full-time
enrollment (12 or more credits). Our scholarships are available for Degree Partnership
Program students as long as they are enrolled for a minimum of six credits at LBCC.
International students and students without a FAFSA can apply; however, some specific
scholarships do require a FAFSA.

Our scholarship system will only allow for you to create an application during an
active scholarship cycle. We have two cycles each year: one in the spring and one
in the fall.
The fall cycle opens on Welcome Day in September. The spring cycle opens during the
third week of February.
When applying, answer all the questions and take time to prepare the parts with statements.

The application has a section to write a statement regarding your educational and
career goals. This portion is very important as it gives insight to your life and
what you would like to accomplish by gaining an education at LBCC. Share what has
motivated you to select your field or study and include what you hope to accomplish
in the future. Don’t let this piece scare you! Take time to write it and share it
with a friend or family for input. Be sure to use spell check!
The personal statement is followed by a question regarding your financial need. Share
your financial situation and include any exceptional circumstance that you would like
to have reviewers consider.
You must prepare and attached a work sheet with your budget. This does require Microsoft Excel. This is an important part of your overall application. Take the time to complete
it and remember to upload it to your application.

Students awarded a scholarship are asked to write a thank-you letter addressed to
the scholarship donor (the name of the scholarship) and submit it to the LBCC Foundation no later than three weeks into the term upon receiving an award.
