Scholarship Story Highlight
My current financial situation is comfortable, however paying for college does cause difficulties. I am paying for college myself by working part time and saving money. This is difficult, because even though Lake Land College is affordable, it is still a large sum of money since I am only able to work part time. Scholarships help a tremendous amount in paying for college, as they can relieve some stress about paying for college. A scholarship would mean a lot to me, and help me with my goal of staying debt free throughout college.
A Lake Land College education means a lot to me, as it was the college I planned to go to for a long time. Lake Land College gives me the unique opportunity to live at home while I pursue my educational goals. Lake Land College is helping me achieve my career goals of becoming a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a business by being the first step to getting my degree in Finance. After Lake Land, I plan to transfer to EIU and finish my education.
