Lane Community College offers tuition-free summer course for high school juniors and seniors

High school students graduating in 2021 or 2022 can take one tuition-free course this spring or summer from Lane Community College to jump-start their college education. That’s a $480 savings for one four-credit course.

Courses will be held remotely from March 29 to June 12 for spring term, and June 21 to September 11 for summer term. Students will receive free access to Moodle, Zoom and other important college resources to take their course.

Registration and a Tuition-Waiver Request form must be completed by the first day of each term; March 29 and June 21 respectively. This includes courses that start in July or August.

This initiative started in summer 2020 with almost 200 high school students starting their college career early. High school students saved $68,970 in tuition costs last summer.

Historically, this has been a writing scholarship open to all Oregon high school juniors and seniors. This year, though, Oregon PSR is asking young Oregonians who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and  who are high school juniors or seniors, or the equivalent, to respond to the prompt by creating a work of visual art. Here are some resources which applicants may find useful as they respond to the prompt.
