Every Lake Area Tech student has a story — a journey that brought them here, goals they're working toward, and a future they're building.
At our Fall 2026 Scholarship Luncheon, more than 200 scholarship recipients had the opportunity to meet the donors who are helping make those futures possible. For our students, it was a chance to put a face and a story to the generosity behind their scholarship. For our donors, it was an opportunity to see the difference their investment is making.
During the spring scholarship cycle, $349,412 in donor-funded scholarships were awarded to Lake Area Tech students, with the fall cycle closing at the end of October.
We were honored to welcome Nick Wendell, Executive Director of the South Dakota Board of Technical Education, as our featured speaker and to celebrate the stories, accomplishments, and possibilities represented in the room.
To all of our scholarship donors — thank you for believing in our students, investing in their journeys, and helping shape what comes next. Your generosity becomes part of their story today and helps build a brighter future for tomorrow.
