Our Panther Pact Emergency Fund is a safety net for our students, with 100% of the proceeds helping them directly.

We are the most diverse Lone Star College institution and our locations exist in the lowest-income sections of our system’s service area. However, for the past three years, our students have continually had some of the highest completion rates within the system.

We invested a lot of time into developing partnerships so we can help students in a cost-efficient manner. We've helped students remove barriers such as food insecurity, clothing and toiletry needs, textbook costs, as well as a technology divide.

Your contribution will directly support a student in continuing their legacy.

If you or someone you know may be interested in registering for classes, please contact us at HN-Info@LoneStar.edu and provide your contact information. We will gladly call, email, and/or set up an appointment to discuss possible options for you.

We can also be reached at 281.260.3500. Just call and mention that you are interested in knowing more about the college. We can take it from there.
