Annual Campaign: Invest in Our Future, One Student at a Time
Transform the lives and futures of our students by making a gift to the Annual Campaign today.
When you give to the LSSC Foundation, you’re supporting students in Lake and Sumter Counties from the start of their educational journey through to their finish. We’re transforming lives and futures throughout our community by providing opportunities for students to pursue their dreams.
Transforming Lives and Futures
As the fastest growing state college in Florida and in one of the fastest growing areas in Florida, our challenge is clear. We must keep pace with our population or we risk leaving students eager to pursue higher education and career training behind. These students are essential to the future of our community’s economy.
When you give to the LSSC Foundation, you support motivated students ready to make their dreams come true. Over the last five years, 88% of students who received an LSSC scholarship have graduated and started their careers, transferred to a four-year university, or are still pursuing their degree at LSSC.
In 2025, thanks to your generous support, the LSSC Foundation awarded over $1.8 million in scholarships to more than 2,500 students.
Your gift makes a difference in the lives of students!
