“We continue to be so appreciative of the generous support shown to Lone Star College-Tomball by [the] Tomball Regional Health Foundation. They continue to enable us to provide our students with the very best opportunities and make our community a great place to live and work,” LSC-Tomball President Lee Ann Nutt said in the release.
According to the release, the Tomball Regional Health Foundation also funded a $100,000 endowment for students who are enrolled in the lifePATH program. This endowment was created in memory of the late Lynn LeBouef, former Tomball Regional Health Foundation CEO.
The lifePATH program started in 2015 at the Tomball campus to provide academic services for students with executive functioning disabilities. The four-year program focuses on academic readiness, social expectations and career exploration, Community Impact Newspaper previously reported. The program is also offered at the Montgomery campus.
“These additional funds and endowments will ensure Lone Star College-Tomball students have the resources necessary to complete their education,” LSC Foundation Executive Director Nicole Gauthier said in the release.
