LANSING, Mich. — Lansing Community College will serve as a Frontliners Champion to support the Futures for Frontliners program unveiled today by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
“LCC believes that those who were required to work during the state shutdown this past spring so that the rest of us could stay safe are heroes and deserve our thanks,” Dean of Student Affairs, Ronda Miller said. “Many of the men and women who were out in the community putting their health and lives on the line are students at LCC. Providing these frontline workers in essential industries with access to tuition-free community college to pursue their career and personal dreams is a wonderful way to say, ‘thank you’ – they have truly earned this.”
As a Frontliners Champion, LCC is committed to making sure that current and potential students know about this opportunity.Futures for Frontliners offers Michiganders who worked in essential industries during the April 1-June 30 period, but do not have a college degree, free tuition to their local community college to pursue an associate degree or a skills certificate on a full-time or part-time basis while they continue to work. Those without a high school diploma or equivalency will be eligible for services to help them prepare for and complete this credential and go on to a community college or job training program. The application period runs through December 31 of this year with enrollment available beginning in January 2021.
