Destination LCU

Lubbock Christian University is a special place in West Texas, and we want prospective students to experience it firsthand. There’s no substitute for a visit to LCU, and we’re so convinced you’ll love LCU as much as we do that we’re willing to put money on it. We will provide travel reimbursement of $100-350 for a new incoming freshman or transfer student who has applied to LCU and lives 150 or more miles from campus. Please read the criteria below and on the Destination LCU form for complete details.

1. Register for a Chap Preview Day.
2. If you can’t make a Chap Preview Day, schedule a visit. Ask your Admissions Advisor for Destination LCU travel reimbursement approval from the Director.
3. Make your travel arrangements and keep receipts. You may make your own arrangements and we’ll reimburse you. Make sure you keep all receipts related to the travel you’d like to have reimbursed.
4. If you haven’t already applied to LCU, apply today.
5. Attend Chap Preview Day or Visit Campus.
6. Fill out a Reimbursement Form and follow instructions included on form.
