LCU Fund for Women's Education

Since 1858, the LCU Fund for Women’s Education has helped women scholars overcome one of the biggest barriers to earning a degree: housing. We partner with NYC colleges and universities to provide rent grants to students in need: • $18M+ awarded since 2000 • 4,000 students supported across 35 campuses • $6,000 average grant for 150 students each year The LCU Fund is a private, grantmaking foundation led by a volunteer Board of Directors and a full-time Executive Director dedicated to expanding opportunities for women pursuing higher education.
