Seven students currently enrolled in Lake Superior College's CNC machine tech program were presented with a $2,000 Gene Haas Scholarship from the Lake Superior College Foundation during a presentation at LSC's Downtown Center on Tuesday.

The LSC Foundation awarded each student a scholarship worth $2,000 for Spring Semester 2022, nearly full tuition for the semester. The funding was generously provided by a grant from the Gene Haas Foundation, along with funding from the LSC Foundation, to help recruit and retain manufacturing talent in our region.

Congratulations to these deserving students! Special thanks to the Gene Haas Foundation, the LSC Foundation and all who donate to the LSC Foundation, and our awesome manufacturing instructors - especially Max Udovich who helped lead this effort and worked closely with the LSC Foundation.

Check out the excellent media coverage below, along with the videos above, to hear more from these impressive and grateful students. You can also read more on our website: lsc.edu/haasscholarships.
