LCCC Foundation Campus Grants Program

Fiscal Year 2008-2009

GENERAL INFORMATION
The LCCC Foundation Campus Grants Program provides funds for unique projects that enhance teaching and learning or provide program enhancements or special services.  Campus Grants are designed to provide funding for projects or equipment that would not otherwise be funded through the College’s budgeting process.

The LCCC Foundation Board of Directors makes the final decisions as to which projects will be funded.  The Grants Committee of the LCCC Foundation Board carefully reviews each application and makes recommendations for funding to the Board.  The Foundation Board strives to fund a variety of projects that impact as many students/constituents as possible, in support of the College’s Vision 2015 strategic plan and the four cornerstones of the College’s vision and mission statements:  EDUCATION, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

Four Cornerstones of LCCC's Mission and Vision
