Optional Fields
The College of Lake County offers several layers of support for students, including scholarships, financial assistance, food pantry, textbook grants, and a wide range of educational supports. See the brief descriptions below.
Tuition and fees at CLC are much lower than those at private schools or public four-year colleges because a portion of the college budget is supported by funds from local taxpayers and the State of Illinois.
