Dear LHS Seniors and Parents and/or Guardians
March 1 is the deadline to apply for the Battle Creek Community Foundation and the Lakeview Schools Education Foundation (LSEF) scholarships, however students need to start the process now to complete all the requirements in time to qualify for some of the scholarships.
To do this, seniors must complete the online application found on the bccfoundation.org website.
LHS counselors have been in senior classes demonstrating this site and assisting seniors in its
completion.
Process:
- Once in the bccfoundation.org website, students will go to the scholarship tab. They will
begin by completing demographic information and need to be sure to indicate Lakeview
High School as their graduating institution when asked. - Students will have to
a. complete a general essay
b. indicate future plans
c. have a transcript uploaded by the Counseling Department and
d. include any other pertinent information. - A list of possible scholarships will pop up. Students must read the criteria for each of
these to learn if any other information is necessary to be considered for the scholarship.
This cannot be left to the last minute! For example, an extra essay or recommendation
may be required. Failure to provide this will result in an incomplete application and the
student will not be considered for this particular scholarship. - After all fields are completed, the senior will submit the application.
Since the candidate pool for the LSEF scholarships is the LHS graduating class, the chances of
receiving a scholarship are greater than for other awards. If you would like to view the specific
LSEF scholarships to look at the criteria in addition to viewing it on the bccfoundation.org site,
you can also go to lsefspartans.org. We hope to see many LSEF applications this year. It is
gratifying for us to assist seniors and their families in funding further education.
