Lake Superior College News Releases

(Duluth, Minn.) – Lake Superior College (LSC) has been awarded an Intervention for College Attendance (ICAP) grant for $34,000 a year for the next two years. The funding will be used to help eligible students complete high school and enter postsecondary education. Funds for this project were provided by a grant from the Minnesota Intervention for College Attendance Program administered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. The project was financed by $68,000 in state funds and $250,000 from other sources, including the U.S. Department of Education.

“We serve an average of 50 high school students each year who meet the eligibility criteria for our program,” said Jeannette Turchi, LSC program director. “We are grateful for the additional state funding. It will be used to provide weekly tutoring for all participants, career exploration, and to help defray the costs for a summer enrichment program which is open to all participants.”

LSC is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. With more than 4,100 students enrolled this fall semester, LSC is Northeastern Minnesota’s largest two-year college. LSC provides a wide range of programs and services, including liberal arts and science courses for transfer, technical programs intended to provide occupational skills, continuing education, and customized training for business and industry.
