The LLCC Foundation reserves the right to refuse printing of any inscriptions for any reason, including but not limited to requests containing inappropriate messages as determined by LLCCF in their sole discretion. I have proofed the above wording and agree it is accurate and ready for engraving.  If an error is discovered after installation and it was my mistake, I agree that I will pay the additional cost to correct.  Errors made by the engraver will be corrected free of charge.  No refunds available. 

First and foremost, it is about students.  A strong endowment fund is one of the most important things we can do to ensure a strong future for students today and generations to come.  With endowment funds, only the earnings are spent annually, while the principal continues to grow, supporting needs well into the future.

Whatever the educational challenge, the tradition of the LLCC Foundation Endowment Fund has been one of stepping forward to answer the need.  Your generous participation will forever change our students’ lives…now and in the future.

The gift of education is one of the greatest one can make. LLCC Foundation scholarships are made possible by supportive community businesses, organizations, and individuals, as well as through the annual faculty and staff giving campaign. Scholarships are a great way for you to honor a loved one, promote specific career fields, or simply fulfill a passion for helping others. Our scholarship program is flexible and varied to allow you to achieve your philanthropic goals. There are two kinds of scholarships that you may establish:

• Annual – A recommended amount of $1,000 is suggested.
• Endowed – A minimum gift of $10,000 is invested, which may include one-time cash gifts, stocks and pledges. Only the net income is used, leaving the principal intact.

As a donor, you may name your scholarship, and determine the goals and standards that students must meet.  The LLCC Foundation also hosts an annual Scholarship Reception to give you and your student recipient an opportunity to meet.

Please know that gifts of all sizes are welcome and appreciated. The LLCC Foundation also has a General Scholarship Fund and emergency fund among others that provide you with other options to help students.

If you are interested in establishing a scholarship with the LLCC Foundation, please contact us at (217) 786-4502, via e-mail at LLCC.Foundation@llcc.edu or visit our Scholarships page on this web site.
