Equity / Basic Needs Center
Equity at Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) means making sure that all of our students have the access to the academic support, mentoring, and financial assistance they need to succeed in college and reach their full potential. Providing access and support isn’t new to LTCC: multiple initiatives and programs dedicated to improving access have been underway for many years. But the Equity Office strives to do something different by focusing on improving access and closing performance gaps for underrepresented students, many of whom are first-generation college students struggling with multiple jobs, language barriers, affordable childcare, and other obstacles that can hamper academic success. The Basic Needs Center at LTCC helps eligible students meet their most basic needs so they can focus on their studies and succeed. If you are facing financial hardship and need emergency supplemental food, mental health or medical assistance, help with housing, transportation, utilities, or childcare, the Basic Needs Center can help! The Center and its services are available to all registered students who meet basic income eligibility guidelines. To apply for services, be currently enrolled in classes and submit a Basic Needs Center Intake form so we can see everything you are eligible for and can connect you with the help you need quickly. The vast majority of LTCC students are eligible for these free services.
