To be eligible for need-based LACC Foundation scholarships, you must attach a copy of your Need Summary from your SIS Portal. The attachments must show “Remaining Need” for the current school year.

If you are determined to have financial need, you may be eligible for some need-based scholarships (if you do not have this form available, attach a document stating why you do not have Financial Aid and what is your financial need based on living and school expenses).
Each scholarship has different requirements. The recipient must meet all of the standard criteria required for the scholarship, but must also distinguish themselves from the rest of the applicants. If you are interested in being awarded a specific scholarship, read about that scholarship to determine what exactly the scholarship donor is looking for and emphasize your relevant qualities in your essay.
