Serving
the Lakes Region of New Hampshire
since 1956
Mission & Purpose
-
To promote
and encourage scholarships and opportunities for higher education among
residents of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
-
To act as a clearinghouse to receive scholarship funds from various donors.
-
To encourage the establishment of
additional scholarships.
-
To screen applications and distribute
scholarships to qualifying applicants.
In 1956 a handful of
dedicated citizens with the goal of promoting and encouraging scholarship
opportunities, as well as simplifying the application process for local
students, and facilitating the review and selection process for donors
founded the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation.
In June 2012, 213 donors awarded a total
of $235,300 to 314 students. Since 1956, nearly $4.4 Million has been awarded to
over 4,150 recipients thanks to
the generosity of 495 donors or donor funds, not including the thousands
of individual donors who have contributed to memorial funds or special
fundraisers.

Our
scholarships really make a difference to our local students. Their
thank-you notes tell us that the dollars awarded through the
Lakes Region Scholarship
Foundation make a positive impact on their educational future. But
sometimes, even more importantly, we prove that someone in the community
really cares about them. Our awards say that we believe in them and want
to help them reach their educational goals.
To view some of the Thank You Notes select
the "Success Stories" link above.
The
Lakes Region Scholarship
Foundation is merely the conduit. It is the donors who really make it
happen.
