“Thanks to a special $1.5 million state grant, the College of Lake County is able to offer nearly 200 Lake County residents seeking career certificates in certain fields free tuition, textbooks, exam fees and other expenses. Ali O’Brien, the college’s vice president of community and workforce partnership who helped apply for the grant, said CLC is one of 15 community colleges awarded state funds through the program. She said the grants were made available to colleges that serve a certain percentage of minority students.”
