Scholarships worth about $2 million available to LCS students

A new scholarship for 2009, the Ronald C. Warner Scholarship Fund, is just one of many scholarships available to students and former graduates of Lapeer Community Schools.

The season of college and trade school applications is here. A great deal of information on available scholarships can be found at the counseling offices of the District’s three high schools. Detailed scholarship information can be found on the District’s website at the counseling sites for Lapeer East and Lapeer West High Schools.

Additional information on a variety of scholarships can be found at the Lapeer County Community Foundation.

About $2 million each in college-funded, Michigan Promise and local scholarships are awarded to Lapeer students each year.

The new Ronald C. Warner Scholarship is for students in their third or later year in a college or university studying in the field of education and/or agriculture. Ronald Warner was a long-time teacher and administrator in the District and one of the two people that were honored in the naming of Rolland-Warner Middle School. The application deadline is April 15, 2009.



Other scholarships available to Lapeer Community Schools’ students are the Irma Gelhausen Scholarship, Hazel Simms Nursing Scholarship, the Wayne Hildebrant Police Scholarship, among several others.



Many of the applications are due in April.
