Community partners can help student-access work become more practical, visible, and trustworthy. This page gives schools, nonprofits, employers, civic groups, and service providers a safer way to understand what a partnership inquiry should and should not include.
Potential Partner Lanes
- Student-support education and public awareness.
- Tools, books, supplies, transportation, or completion-barrier support.
- Referral-path clarity without private-data exposure.
- Workforce and community-uplift storytelling with consent and review.
- Campaign support that honors donor stewardship and student privacy.
Good First Inquiry Information
A partner inquiry should include the organization name, public contact information, general area of interest, proposed student-access value, and any timing constraints. It should not include private student records, donor records, protected health information, immigration information, financial account details, or confidential school records.
Boundary Before Partnership
An inquiry does not create a partnership, referral agreement, sponsorship, endorsement, vendor relationship, scholarship decision, or public campaign approval. Any formal arrangement requires proper review and exact approval through the appropriate LFAS process.
No Outcome Promise
Partner activity must not promise admission, graduation, licensure, employment, scholarship awards, funding eligibility, tax treatment, or guaranteed student outcomes.
