Affordability with Julius

Transcript

Let’s hear from sophomore Information System and Technology major, Julius, as he shares how Lubbock Christian University is the affordable and accessible Christian university in Texas. From his very first moments on campus, the LCU community rallied around Julius working on his behalf to make sure his college education was affordable and accessible. Julius, the floor is yours.

– Thanks for the intro, Alex. What’s up everybody? Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been interested in computers and technology and when I went into high school I knew I wanted to pursue technology as a career, but every time I looked at the cost of a college education, it always seemed out of reach for me. That is until I discovered Lubbock Christian University of course and that changed everything for me. From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew LCU was special. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating, even though on paper I’m sure they could tell that paying for college would be difficult and maybe even impossible for me, but they sat with me and explored all the various options for scholarships and financial assistance. I honestly could not believe how hard they worked to make sure that a college education here at LCU was affordable for me. They identified several scholarships, that significantly reduced the cost of my tuition. They helped me find scholarships through LCU’s choir and band, which helped to contribute to my financial aid package and the biggest blessing to me was the LCU guarantee, which was available to me due to my financial situation. All the financial and moral support combined allowed me to fully engage with my coursework, participate in campus life and connect with my peers without the constant stress of financial strain. The university’s commitment to affordability has allowed not just me, but many students here at LCU to be able to focus on our studies and personal growth instead of our finances. As I look ahead into my future, I’m confident that LCU has given me the skills and the knowledge necessary to succeed and I’m incredibly grateful to the genuinely kind staff who patiently took the time to make my dreams and aspirations a possibility. That’s my LCU story, back to you Alex.

– What an encouraging story, Julius. Thank you for sharing how the LCU community made sure you are receiving every possible financial aid opportunity to ensure your college education is affordable. It’s inspiring to hear that every freshman student receives scholarships and grants and that there are many different scholarships opportunities here. Thanks again and take care.
