Lakeshore Technical College

Financial Aid

Students attending LTC have so many sources of financial aid that the majority (over 90%) manage to obtain some form of aid. Outside federal sources of aid, the leading provider of financial aid for students attending the college is the LTC Foundation which awards over 70 scholarships valued at over $80,000 every year. Scholarships issued by the foundation are need and merit-based and applications have to be received by April 15th and November 15th for the fall and spring semesters respectively.

Residents of Wisconsin who are returning to school after a prolonged break could benefit from the Jaycees of Wisconsin Foundation Inc Scholarship. This $500 scholarship is given annually to residents who are returning to school and is meant to encourage older people to go back to school.

The Sheboygan County Chamber of Commerce also awards $2,000 every year to a student who has either worked with or has parents or spouses working with a company which is a member of the chamber. Other scholarships include the WASA Wisconsin Agri-Service Association Eldon Roesler Scholarship ($1,000), the David Steven Memorial College Scholarship (for residents of Manitowac County only) and the brand new Carol Scaife Memorial Scholarship ($750).

The State of Wisconsin has several grant programs. The Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEG) awards grants ranging from $350 to $1,000 to resident students who are enrolled at the college. For incoming freshmen, the State also gives the Talent Incentive Program (TIP) Grant awards whose value range from $600 to $1,800. Students from minority groups could also apply for the Minority Undergraduate Retention Grant which awards up to $2,500 per year. The State also runs the Indian Student Grant and the Hearing and Visually Handicapped Student Grant.

Federal grants that students attending LTC can apply for include the Pell Grant and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). The college also participates in the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program which enables needy students from the college to obtain part-time paid employment. Student loans are also available from the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program in the form of subsidized, unsubsidized and PLUS direct loans.
