Your Success is Our Priority
The Scholarship really helped me and my family by allowing us to save up more money so we could afford to go to a four year school next year.
Having the scholarship helped me so much. Having more time to study, more time to practice.
I wanted to adjust to college life and not rush into a big school. Lassen College gave me that opportunity with the friendly staff, smaller class sizes, and good programs […]
I think you should attend Lassen College because of the multiple sports that are involved at the school. It’s a small campus and you get really close with other people.
