The LCC Honors Program, established in 1988, offers full scholarships and challenging academic opportunities. It is acclaimed for giving the region’s gifted students the opportunity to excel in academics, community involvement, and to enhance their leadership potential.
“The LCC Honors Program offers many valuable benefits to students, including full scholarships to cover the cost of all tuition, fees and books during their fall and spring semesters, up to 66 semester credit hours,” said Co-Coordinators Jose D. Compean and Dr. Jacinto P. Juarez.
Academic advantages include educational field trips, specialized seminars on leadership skills, and much more.
The Honors Program is affiliated with the National Collegiate Honors Council, the governing body for all college and university Honors programs, including the Ivy League schools.
The program selects students on the basis of academic ability and community service, and has no income guidelines or limitations. Additional scholarships and grants are available for students in the Honors Program.
