2008 - 2009 Scholarship Guide
Introduction
The Lakeland
Foundation is a public, non-profit corporation established to enhance
educational opportunities for Lakeland Community College students. Its
purposes are to solicit and receive gifts of money, securities, bequests,
and property and to hold and distribute these resources as may be deemed
best for the promotion of excellence in programming at Lakeland Community
College.
The Lakeland
Foundation's goal is to provide scholarships and grants for deserving full-
and part-time students of all ages by establishing endowments and scholarship
funds. Individuals, families, clubs, corporations, foundations, alumni,
academic departments, and other organizations fund these endowments and
scholarships. The Financial Aid Office (FAO) of Lakeland Community College
administers all scholarships, grants and loans. The FAO coordinates and
administers a comprehensive program of financial assistance for Lakeland
student's that includes federal and state programs as well as those provided
by The Lakeland Foundation.
In addition,
gifts to The Lakeland Foundation support a broad spectrum of programs for
which local and state subsidies are not available. These programs are vitally
important to the quality of education and services provided by Lakeland
Community College.
Because
scholarship availability, application deadlines, and award amounts change
frequently, this Scholarship Guide should be regarded primarily as a
reference guide and not as a binding document.
