The online LCCC Donor Scholarship Application for 2024-2025 LCCC Scholarships is available now. The priority screening date is April 1 for most scholarships, so plan ahead and apply early!

If you haven't filed your 2024-2025 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), that's also a good idea to complete now so that you are ready for next year!

Are you transferring to another institution for the 2024-2025 academic year? Check with that institution - it's probably also a good time to apply for scholarships there!

Don't let financial aid be a mystery to you! It's important for you to know what's available and what you're receiving. We have an extensive Financial Aid Video Library for you to learn from.

Here are some of our commonly watched videos about different aid types!

Spring 2024 Graduates:

If you are finishing your program or a credential this semester, don't forget to apply to graduate! It's a good idea to touch base with your Student Success Coach first to verify your program requirements. Send them an email, or schedule an appointment through Navigate. Then, complete the Application for Graduation in the Self-Service app in your myLCCC account.

After you apply to graduate, you'll receive information if you want to participate in the Spring 2024 Commencement Ceremony.

We know - college classes can be tough. That's where the Learning Commons comes in!

LCCC's Learning Commons offers free tutoring and academic support to students. You can get assistance with learning/understanding your course content, study strategies, and test preparation.

NetTutor is accessed through your class navigation in each course in Canvas.

Walk-in tutoring, tutoring appointments, asynchronous writing consultations, and online tutoring are available. The Learning Commons is located in the Ludden Library at the main campus in Cheyenne or in ACC 135 at the campus in Laramie.
