Read on for some brief personal stories from three scholarship recipients.<\/p>\n

\"Chelsea<\/p>\n

Chelsea Ross<\/strong>
\nMajor – Business Administration – Management
\nHometown – Pickford, Michigan
\nGraduating April 2019<\/p>\n

Receiving scholarships has helped me in many ways throughout my academic career. Without them, I would not have been able to attend university at all. Besides scholarships, I receive no other sort of financial aid, and the loan amounts I can borrow do not cover tuition. By receiving this extra help, I\u2019ve been able to maintain a high GPA, graduate on time, volunteer in the community, and advocate on Student Government as a representative. It has helped make my experience at Lake Superior State University a memorable one.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Heather Gregg<\/strong>
\nMajor \u2013 Biology, Minor \u2013 Biochemistry
\nHometown \u2013 Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
\nGraduating April 2019<\/p>\n

Coming from a family of nine kids, school would have never been possible, let alone graduate school. My parents never really had money and they never would have been able to set up a college fund for any of my brothers and sisters. \u00a0The money just wouldn’t have been there, since college is super expensive. The only reason why I have been able to attend college is due to the scholarships that I have received from the Foundation.\u00a0 These scholarships have allowed me to fulfill my dreams of becoming a clinical researcher and I am truly thankful for the opportunity!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Anna<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anna Finley
\n<\/strong>Major \u2013 International Business and Management, Minor \u2013 Human Resource Management
\nHometown \u2013 Angola, Indiana
\nGraduating \u2013 April 2019
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scholarships were my deciding factor when I chose to attend Lake Superior State University, without them I would have gone somewhere else.\u00a0 However, I found that the Lukenda School of Business is AMAZING, there is so much camaraderie between the students.\u00a0 Considine Hall is beautiful.\u00a0 All the faculty care and are passionate that we apply the theories we learn with projects.\u00a0 Many times the projects have to do with our interests or campus and it gives us experience working through challenges we will find in later in our work.\u00a0 During my junior and senior year, I was even able to apply for and receive more scholarships as a business student.\u00a0 I am forever grateful for the donors.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n
