A Partnership  with Lord Fairfax Community College Workforce Solutions

Opportunity Scholars works cohesively with LFCC Workforce Solutions Enrollment Specialists and scholars interested in pursing a certificate or degree program in skilled trade professions such as Electrical Apprenticeships, HVAC, Plumbing, Welding, Mechatronics and others. We actively help coach scholars throughout the entire process of enrolling into courses within their program, including seeking employment within the related industry for further hands-on experience to expand their knowledge on their specialized trade. An Educational Pathway Plan (EPP) and Financial Pathway Plan (FPP) are developed for the scholar to understand their expected courses to register for successful completion and assistance with the costs of tuition/fees for eligible scholars as defined in our financial model.

Note: Not all programs available through LFCC's credentialed programs are sponsored by the Opportunity Scholars program. If you have a question about a specific pathway, please contact us at info@opportunityscholars.org.
