Scholarship book offers hundreds of opportunities at Lane
EUGENE - Students facing high tuition and a slow economy may find relief in scholarship opportunities at Lane Community College. Nearly 300 different awards are available ranging from $150 to $5,000. Each is described in a publication just released by the Lane Community College Foundation, 2004-2005 Scholarship Opportunities. The book is available at Career and Employment Services on main campus in Building 1 and at high school counseling offices throughout Lane County.
Scholarship donations are up 25 percent, says Foundation Director Janet
Anderson, for a total award fund of about $465,000. "That represents
over 90 new scholarships and some that have increased in size."
Eligibility criteria vary widely. Some require enrollment in a certain
program, financial need, academic merit, or other factors. For example,
there's a $250 award for small business owners, and a $1,000 scholarship
for students from a Pacific Rim nation. If your reading skills fall below
the 8th grade level, you may qualify for a $500 award. If you need money
to pursue a professional technical career or a transfer degree, you can
apply for a $5,000 scholarship. There's a $2,000 award for students who
attend classes full time at Lane's Florence center. The possibilities
go on for 24 pages. The scholarship book includes an application and instructions.
The deadline to apply is March 1. For more information see the web at
