FAQ

What if I receive a scholarship at LCC?

While being at Gordon/Hope you will still be treated as an LCC student here on campus; thus, you will have to pay what you usually pay each semester. The only difference is that you will be asked to pay the LCC dorm fees for a four person room.

Can I study at Gordon/Hope and participate in the Work and Travel program?

You can participate in Work and Travel only if you return to Lithuania for at least one semester in between. You must apply for the new visa for a different purpose from Lithuania. For example, a student who participates in Work and Travel in Summer 2024 may go on exchange in Spring 2025. A student who goes on exchange in Fall 2024 can participate in Work and Travel in Summer 2025.

Will my scholarship cover my meals?

Gordon/Hope has a meal plan that will provide you with three meals a day. 

Do I have to pay dorm fees if I am not living in the dorms?

Yes, you will be asked to cover the fees for a four person room in Neumann or Enns Hall.
