“I would tell students to look at Lake Region State College because of the great environment.

I’ve been given many opportunities such as student senate where I get to be the vice president, secretary and treasurer, royal ambassador, invited into honor society, and I’ll graduate in one year, and scholarship money to pay for fall and spring semester and then some.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't come here, especially if they have dual credit, since it opens so many doors for different types of futures.”

Erin received scholarships from Campus Clan & Kin, Darling Family, and Klemetsrud Family endowments.

“I am currently going for Liberal Arts here at LRSC and I plan on transferring to another ND school to get my Bachelor’s in History Education so I can become a high school history teacher. I am also the President of the Student Senate, a great extracurricular activity that can get a person involved in student government.

I have so far received the James Wakefield and American Bank Center Scholarships and I feel very honored. Getting these lets me know that I have worked hard and will continue to do so not only to get the money, which also makes a financial impact, but it will look good on my transcript.”

Nicole chose Lake Region State College because it’s a great place to start your college path.

“Why pay more money to take the classes at a four-year university when you can take them at a two-year school for less?”

She found cost savings at LRSC because students only pay for the first 12 on-campus credits. Additional on-campus credits are a bonus. Nicole says all her instructors are great and they truly care about your well-being.
