Family of Donors
Founded in 1983 by visionary community leaders and generous donors, the Luzerne County Community College Foundation has provided millions of dollars in scholarship funds to deserving students.
Your gift to the LCCC Foundation is more than a one-time event. By supporting students, you will become part of our Family of Donors - a group of people committed to helping the next generation of students. You will be invited to our Annual Scholarship Dinner, where you will be able to meet your scholar and learn how your gift is improving his or her life. You will see your gift in action, every year.
Even with the many scholarships available, more are needed to meet the financial needs for students to complete their college education.
Your gift today will immediately be put to work helping a student who is struggling to pay tuition and books.
Thank you for considering a gift to support a scholarship. You will be very impressed to see how donors like you are changing students' lives every day.
What are the different types of Scholarships?
An Endowed Scholarship is a permanent scholarship. The minimum investment to create an Endowed scholarship is $10,000. You can pay this amount at one time or over a period of years if that is more convenient. Once the Scholarship is fully funded, a portion of it will be awarded to an LCCC student every year in perpetuity.
An Annual or Endowed Scholarship may be used to memorialize an individual. Often, an individual whose life contributed to LCCC or to the community at large is memorialized through a scholarship. It is a wonderful way to carry on a legacy into a new generation.
An Annual or Endowed Scholarship may be use to recognize a living individual or an organization. This is a powerful way to honor an individual, business, or organization or industry through the gift of educating a deserving student.

Annual Fund
In working closely with our students, our faculty and staff see first-hand that the College does wonderful work and opens the door to opportunity to so many people.
- Scholarship Assistance to Students. Scholarships for Fall 18 - Spring 2019 amounted to $343,000 and directly assisted over 325 students.
- Book Assistance. The increasing cost of textbooks has definitely impacted students' ability to succeed academically or remain at LCCC. The need is great.
- LCCC Food Bank. Through the Empty Bowls Project in cooperation with Wilkes University, King's College and Wyoming Seminary and from generous donations by the college family and friends, the Food Bank provides a meal for students and food and other items for students with families in need.
- General Endowment Fund. Provides for the long term financial health of the College and its students.
By supporting the annual campus campaign, you will insure that we continue to directly assist our students and enhance the College's efforts to inspire life-long learning, advancement and improvement of our community. Your contribution is not only a tax deductible donation, but also an investment for future generations.
