Program Requirements
Each year, this program offers up to 36 Honors Program Awards
to new, currently enrolled, or returning students who have
demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and plan to
complete a two-year transfer curriculum at LCC and then transfer
to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Although students following a transfer program may plan to earn
a general associate, associate in arts, or associate in science
degree, their primary objective in attending LCC is to complete
general education, required, and recommended courses in
preparation for transfer to a four-year college or university.
Lists of common transfer majors may be found at
Associate in Arts/Associate in Science Degrees.
The awards are offered for a maximum of five semesters over a period of two consecutive years. Renewal each semester is contingent upon the recipient meeting all award requirements. The awards will cover up to $1275.00 towards tuition and fees for each Fall and Spring semester and up to $340.00 for an optional Summer Semester. These amounts will cover approximately 16 billing hours plus fees in Fall and Spring semesters and four billing hours plus fees in Summer Semester. An award recipient must:
-
Be a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S.
-
Reside in the LCC district
-
