The College/Career Center

The College/Career Center serves many functions. We provide students with assistance with applications, essays, summer programs, financial aid and scholarships. The College Center hosts visits from outside agencies, usually during lunchtime. Many colleges visit Lincoln, other agencies include job/internship referral programs, summer opportunity programs, military presentations, and other special programs such as art schools. The College counselors present special lunchtime and after school workshops on topics such as filling out financial aid forms or writing college essays.

The College and Career Center is located in Room 123C next to the Dean’s Office. You can call us at Lincoln’s main phone number, at extension 3156.
