Programs to Support
Annual Fund
Annual Fund donations support key resources and opportunities for students including: merit scholarships, industry tours, guest speakers on campus, portfolio-building workshops, gallery exhibitions, senior-thesis presentations and more.
Scholarships
Support student success with a donation to LCAD’s scholarship funds or by joining the Art+ Scholarship Circle.
Basic Needs Fund
The Basic Needs Fund supports campus-based services that help ensure student success.
Operated by LCAD’s Student Affairs Department, the Basic Needs Fund provides critical support for the Campus Pantry, emergency grants for students, mental health services, and student success initiatives.
Areas Supported:
Campus Pantry
Accessible to current students 24/7, the Campus Pantry provides food and hygiene products with the goal of reducing food insecurity experienced by 78% of surveyed students.
Emergency Grants
Students experiencing unforeseen financial hardship may request emergency grants of up to $1,000. Grant awards are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are dependent upon available funds.
Student Resources
To support student success and well-being, LCAD provides access to in-person counseling, virtual therapy, a crisis line, academic accommodations, tutoring, and workshops designed to reduce stress and anxiety.
Study Abroad
LCAD students receive offers to share and develop their artistic practice around the world, but most do not have the resources to seize these opportunities. As LCAD expands its Study Abroad programs, we are seeking support for our Study Abroad Scholarship Fund.
