H.O.P.E. Scholarship Program
The H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Excel) Scholarship Program is an
education initiative in cooperation with the Lansing School District,
the City of Lansing, Lansing Community College, the Lansing Police
Department, YMCA, and in cooperation with local businesses and
private citizens.
The H.O.P.E. Scholarship Program offers Lansing School District
youth an opportunity for a college education and a brighter future.
Students are initiated into the program as sixth graders. Students
promise to finish high school in exchange for two years of free
tuition at Lansing Community College. The students are chosen
by their school based on their ability to utilize the program. Lansing
Community College has been welcoming H.O.P.E. Scholars
since Fall 2007.
