Scholarship Resources and Links

Throughout the year, the campus receives announcements on scholarship opportunities. The focus of each scholarship is different; some require good grades, some require financial need, and some are awarded to students who are majoring in certain areas. LASC will post their announcements on their bulletin boards as well as make general announcements in campus media.

 

In addition to providing general financial aid information, the following web sites provide, without charge, valuable scholarship information. Based upon your personal background and qualifications, these web sites search their databases of over 400,000 available scholarships to match your particular background and qualifications.
