Scholarships

The Language and Culture Center offers four merit-based scholarships, currently on rotation, to students continuing their studies in the LCC.

These competitive scholarships are named in honor of four distinguished LCC leaders: the Joyce Valdes Scholarship, the Joseph Davidson Scholarship, the Brad Powell Scholarship, and the Joy Tesh Scholarship.

The number of scholarships awarded is dependent upon funding. Scholarships are not available to students in their first semester at the LCC. The LCC does not offer need-based scholarships.
