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.
