 Well, school is out for the summer at Central Lakes College, but the school's foundation is gearing up to award scholarships for the 2017-2018 school year. The CLC Foundation will be awarding up to 200 scholarships, totaling anywhere from $350,000 to $400,000. The money will be awarded to go towards tuition, fees and books. And according to the foundation's director, it's all a part of the foundation's mission. The CLC Foundation exists to remove barriers to student success, and of course one of those barriers is paying for college. So through our scholarship funds, we are able to help in some small way for students to help them make college more affordable. The deadline for applications is June 1st, and the fall semester begins at Central Lakes College on August 21st.
