Lansing, Mich. – LCC students Nael Hallak, Rolando Linares and Remington Prentice were recently awarded scholarships to further their education at Lansing Community College.

Hallak is the 2021 recipient of the New Beginnings scholarship through the Lake Trust Foundation. He is currently enrolled in LCC’s Fire Academy program to become a paramedic/firefighter and hopes to work part-time as a firefighter and someday continue his education in the medical field.
