Are you currently enrolled at LCC and facing financial challenges that could impact your studies?

The LCC Foundation has a Cares Assistance Fund supported by donations. This fund aims to help students in critical situations such as:

shut-off notices
unexpected car repairs
eviction notices
food expenses

If you're dealing with a financial emergency and haven't accessed this fund in the past year, please apply for assistance through the Cares Assistance Fund form. We also recommend exploring local resources like Michigan 211 for additional support.
