Scholarship Opportunities for Students

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).

    The scholarship will help in ways that go far beyond covering expenses, reduce at least some of the stress and burdens, and allow me to focus on maintaining a stable presence in my studies. It's a reminder that others believe in me and want to see me succeed, and that encouragement means more than I can put into words.

Apply for Foundation Scholarships

Completing one application can connect you to many scholarship opportunities through the Lake Superior College Foundation.

To apply, you’ll need to:

  • Complete the online scholarship application
  • Answer a few questions about yourself, your academics, and your goals
  • Upload your most recent college or high school transcript
  • Submit one or two letters of recommendation

Once you submit your application, our scholarship system will automatically match you with scholarships you’re eligible for. There’s no need to search through dozens of individual scholarship requirements on your own.

Your application will be reviewed by community volunteers. Their scores are combined to help determine scholarship recipients.

Scholarship awards start at $500, and all Lake Superior College students are encouraged to apply, regardless of program, major, or academic level.

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.
