The Lincoln Trail College Foundation will conduct a giving week the week of May 11 to help raise money for a special scholarship fund. The new fund is designed to help people affected by the Coronavirus pandemic get an education at Lincoln Trail College.
“As you know we’re in the midst of something unprecedented,” says LTC Foundation Executive Director Rod Harmon. “We are in need of money and special help because of this unique situation and we’re trying to raise money for scholarships for students. We know that there are students whose parents have been laid off or maybe they’ve been laid off too and we want to help them.”
Lincoln Trail College will offer Summer Semester classes beginning June 2 and the Fall Semester begins August 20. Classes in the summer are expected to begin online, but as the summer progresses, some may be allowed to meet face-to-face. The College expects that classes in the Fall Semester will be offered face-to-face. President Dr. Ryan Gower says the College will monitor information from local officials and may make some adjustments to classes like limiting the number of people allowed in a class and staggering class times to better allow social distancing.
Gower says Lincoln Trail College has always been a great choice for students, and based on what’s happening in the world, it is an even better choice. “We deliver an excellent educational experience. There is a lot of unease about moving into dorms and staring college, only to be required to move out and go back home should the coronavirus ‘bounce’ as experts suggest it might this fall. All of those uncertainties can be minimized by enrolling in your local community college.”
Lincoln Trail College was recognized as the 11th most affordable college or university in the nation by EDSmart, a Utah-based organization that provides information to prospective college students. LTC has also been recognized by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program as a Top 150 U.S. Community College, an honor LTC has received five times.
Harmon says this giving week is about making sure more people have the opportunity to attend Lincoln Trail College. “We would hope you would consider assisting us in whatever way you can. We appreciate it and the students at Lincoln Trail College appreciate it. Remember, Foundation’s sole purpose is to enhance educational services and benefit the students at Lincoln Trail College. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated.”
