If you are 19 or older and planning to go to college but don’t know where to start, the Lincoln County College Connection (TLC3) could be the solution for you. TLC3 provides one-on-one counseling, mentoring and academic support to help you successfully move on to college and earn a degree and/or decide on a career that is the perfect fit for you.

TLC3 gives you support from start to finish with free academic courses that prepare you for the College Placement tests (Accuplacers) and set you up for success in the college classroom, free career counselling and decision making with your own personal college coach to help you figure out what you want to do, free college visits and tours, and, finally, follow up and support to ensure your continued success once you are enrolled in college.

Don’t worry if you think you don’t have the time or money to attend college. TLC3 offers flexible, part-time schedules and locations that work for you. Both morning and evening courses and learning center times are offered in Damariscotta, Waldoboro, Wiscasset and Boothbay Harbor with ongoing personalized advising and support. We will also walk you through getting the money you need to attend college. Your college coach will help you fill out your financial aid forms and assist you with every step of the college admissions process.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to take that first important step towards making your dreams a reality.
