Scholarship programs a big success at Lake Tahoe Community College

The numbers are in: Lake Tahoe Community College’s scholarship program had its most successful year ever in 2012/13, helping more students to reach their academic goals than ever before. In June 2013, the college handed out $81,000 in scholarship dollars: the most in the college’s history.

All of those dollars will help 66 LTCC students to continue their education, providing much-needed funds to cover the costs of tuition, textbooks, and other resources necessary to academic success.

Memorial scholarship established for former LTCC student Lyra B. Fisher

Anna Lee works at changing students’ lives everyday as the TRiO-SSS program specialist at Lake Tahoe Community College. One of Lee’s students, Lyra B. Fisher, was tragically murdered this summer, the apparent victim of domestic violence. This month Lee decided to start a scholarship in Fisher’s name with the Lake Tahoe Community College Foundation.
