The Need for Scholarships
The rising cost of tuition rates, books and fees creates an ongoing demand for scholarships to enable LFCC students who may not otherwise have the opportunity take advantage of our unique education opportunities.
A large majority of LFCC students are nontraditional students:
- About 73 percent are enrolled part time.
- Some 28 percent are enrolled only in evening courses.
- Nearly 75 percent are taking courses while working full- or part-time jobs
- Many are single parents or displaced homemakers who need training or retraining
- Many are first-generation students or are returning to school after several years of absence
The College’s scholarship program reduces the financial burden on students who are trying desperately to improve themselves and their role in our workforce. Although tuition at Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) for full-time students is only $1,082.05 (including fees) per semester, this amount is still out of reach for many in our community.
- Without scholarships, many students must take semesters off or forgo their education altogether.
- To address this growing need, the LFCC Educational Foundation Inc. seeks to provide additional funding through endowed and annual scholarships, in addition to a variety of program- or location-specific scholarships.
