The Lake Superior College Foundation offers scholarships from private donors twice a year. There are also external scholarships with different application dates (check the link on this page for details and how to apply them to your tuition).
Scholarship Recipients
To apply for the Lake Superior College Foundation scholarships, you need to fill out an online application with demographic, academic, and essay questions. You must upload your latest college or high school transcript and one or two letters of recommendation. Based on the answers to your questions, the system will automatically match you with individual scholarships you qualify for (no need to read dozens of individual scholarship requirements and wonder if you qualify for them).
Your answers will also help volunteers score your application. Historically, three volunteers’ scores are used to create a composite score that is used to select recipients (like Olympic judges).
The smallest scholarship this semester is $500. All students, no matter what their program or stage, can apply.
The Fall 2026 application window will open on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Notifications will be emailed from late July to early August 2026. Check the email you used in your application for updates.
Additional Scholarship Details
Scholarship funds are deposited on a student’s college account after the semester’s add-drop date. Scholarships are often for just one semester, but several are for a full year and are split between the fall and spring semesters. When award emails are sent, it will explain the type of scholarship you earned.
Scholarships are generally used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and tools required for coursework. Some scholarships can be used for living expenses too.
