Scholarship Description
Scholarships will be awarded fall semester (as the fund warrants), for the entire academic school year (two semesters), to support enrolled Lorain County Community College and University Partnership students. Preference will be given to Ridge Tool employees, employees’ children, and employees’ grandchildren (to be identified by Ridge Tool). LCCC /UP non Ridge Tool associated students will have second preference. Scholars must be in good academic standing with LCCC or the UP institution going into the following semester to receive the remainder of the award.
Additional Requirements
- Must be enrolled;
- GPA - preference (but not mandated) of 2.5 if not a first-year student;

- University Partnership Students: In your Universal Application, you must attach your most recent transcripts and proof of enrollment in the UP Institution for the semester of the scholarship (fall class schedule and charges). LCCC students’ status can be accessed by LCCC’s Student Financial Aid; therefore, they are exempt of having to show proof of enrollment and transcripts.
