About Our Scholarship Program
The LLCC Foundation Scholarship Program has grown into a significant support opportunity for all types of students. These scholarships are made possible by generous community businesses, organizations and individuals who want to help LLCC students succeed. Donors also include LLCC faculty and staff who choose to support the Foundation’s Scholarship Program through the annual faculty and staff giving campaign.
The general scholarship fund, sponsored by the LLCC Foundation Board of Directors, through the LLCC Foundation Annual Fund, supports the First Generation College Student, Performing Arts, Honors Program and the TEAL GED Program scholarships.
The general scholarship fund major sponsor is the Russell L. and Thelma L. Kirchner Trust, administered by the Town and Country Bank of Springfield.

Scholarship Recipient Testimonials
“Receiving a Foundation scholarship challenged me to really focus on my education. I am an extremely self-motivated person, but because of the scholarship I felt even more compelled to immerse myself in my studies. It truly is an honor to receive a Foundation scholarship, and I felt that the best way to show my gratitude to the Foundation was to put forth the fullest effort in my classes.”
“Being a student at LLCC has been an amazing experience. I have enjoyed my classes and the professors who taught them. The excellent core education that I have received while at LLCC has prepared me for transferring to a four-year school.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude for the scholarship I received. Because my tuition is paid, I can focus on my studies rather than having to work to pay it off, which all too commonly takes away from the educational experience. I am very appreciative to not to have to worry about that.”
“I am currently studying mathematics and computer science, with intention to major in one and minor in the other when I transfer to another institution. Lincoln Land has been a great place to try new things and meet great teachers. Thanks for doing your part to keep it going.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for your donation that makes my educational goals a reality. The honors program has been a wonderful vehicle to academic success. The scholarship I was awarded allows me to focus entirely on my studies without too much added pressure form working and supporting myself. Without this scholarship I would be torn between work and school, and doubtless my grades would suffer.”
“It’s amazing what a donation like yours means to a student like me. I consider myself a hard worker, but you have truly lightened my load. I’m sure that all scholarship recipients can agree that being acknowledged for their dedication to academic excellence is such a wonderful honor. Thank you so much.”
