Eighty-one Lake Tahoe Community College students are receiving scholarships this year.

This is a record year for scholarship fundraising for the LTCC Foundation, with donors supporting the 120 awards worth more than $126,000.

Many of the students are continuing at LTCC to earn a two-year degree or vocational certificate. Some will attend the Lisa Maloff University Center this fall on LTCC’s campus to start work on their bachelor’s degree. More will be transferring from LTCC to earn their advanced degrees from other colleges and universities, including a variety of University of California and California State University schools.
