Local students receive CLC Foundation scholarships 

The Central Lakes College Foundation is pleased to announce the distribution of $167,846 for Fall 2021 scholarships to local students.

“As I reflect on this tremendous scholarship support, I recognize it was only possible because of the leadership of our board and the generosity from our college community,” said Kate Adornetto, CLC Foundation Director. “Additionally, it takes a team of volunteers to review each scholarship applicant, and I want to thank those individuals for their role in this very important part of the scholarship process.”

To learn more about donating to the CLC Foundation or establishing a scholarship fund of your own, contact Kate Adornetto, Foundation Director, at 218-855-8129.
