Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC) is set to hold its annual Giving Day on Friday, Nov. 15. The event invites alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of LLCC to help raise vital funds to support student needs, making an impactful difference for the college’s mission.

Karen Sanders, LLCC’s Vice President of Advancement and Foundation Executive Director says that thanks to the generosity of LLCC Foundation donors, they can change lives and open doors for many students.  Sanders says she hopes to shine a light on the tremendous impact that every donation makes. 

LLCC scholarship recipients represent a diverse group of students dedicated to their education and the opportunities it creates. Most go on to attend four-year universities or pursue careers in their fields. LLCC student Eva Bassel, a Springfield native, recently expressed her gratitude to scholarship donors, saying that support is not just about financial assistance; it’s the belief that students like herself, take unconventional yet purposeful paths, deserving the opportunity to achieve their dreams.

Community businesses, organizations, and individuals, along with LLCC faculty and staff, provide critical support for the LLCC Foundation scholarships. These donations fund the General Scholarship Fund, Emergency Fund, and other programs that help students succeed.
