Scholarships

A scholarship is a financial gift (free money!) awarded to students who demonstrate that they will be successful in their education, career, and life. Every student has a chance for a scholarship, but you have to apply!

Once you start searching, you'll see that there are scholarships available for all types of students, including You! We'll not only help you find scholarships that fit you and your goals, but also help you submit compelling applications that tell Your story.

WELCOME BACK SCHOLARSHIP - If you are a returning Lane student who has an outstanding account balance preventing you from registering for Fall, apply for up to $300 to help pay off that balance. Deadline is Tuesday, September 19.  Details and application are here.
