“Empowering through access to education”

"For my freshman year, I received the Ukraine Scholar Award that covered 90% of my tuition, which was followed by the President’s Leadership Scholarship that granted me full tuition coverage for the remaining three years. These generous grants have given me the opportunity to work towards my dreams and goals without stressing about financing my studies. They have also motivated me to be an active part of LCC community by giving back to it in the ways that I could."
