ESTABLISH A SCHOLARSHIP

FIND YOUR IMPACT. FUND THEIR FUTURE.

At Iowa Lakes Community College, scholarships transform lives. By establishing a scholarship through the Iowa Lakes Foundation, you’re not just providing financial support—you’re opening doors, easing burdens, and giving students the opportunity to focus on what matters most: their education and future.

Whether you wish to honor a loved one, support a specific program, or simply give back to your community, we’ll help you create a scholarship that reflects your values and leaves a lasting legacy.

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

We offer flexible options to suit your giving goals:

  • Annual Scholarships
    Funded each year by your contributions. A gift of $500 or more can establish an annual scholarship awarded to a deserving student the same year it's funded.

  • Endowed Scholarships
    A long-term investment that awards scholarships from earned interest while preserving the principal. A minimum gift of $10,000 (can be paid over time) is required to establish an endowed scholarship.

YOU DECIDE THE CRITERIA

You can personalize your scholarship by choosing criteria such as:

  • Area of study or program

  • Academic achievement

  • Financial need

  • Campus location

  • Student background or goals

We’ll work with you to ensure your scholarship reflects your intentions and supports the students who will benefit most.
