LACONIA ― The Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation’s application deadline of April 1 for the 2026-27 academic year is fast approaching. Applications received after April 1 cannot be accepted.
Graduates of Laconia High School, Gilford High School, and Belmont High School, as well as Winnisquam Regional High School, Prospect Mountain High School and Inter-Lakes High School, along with home-schooled and private school students, who reside in Belknap County are eligible to apply. Adult learners that are looking to either continue or further their education and are legal residents of Laconia, Gilford, or Belmont, New Hampshire are also encouraged to apply.
LRSF acts as a clearinghouse of donor funds, which means only one application is required. Since being established in 1956, the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation has awarded close to $11 million to more than 6,270 recipients from over 650 donor funds. In 2025 alone, $901,275 was awarded to 393 local students (including adult learners) going on to secondary education.
The application and instructions can be found on the “Applicants” page of the Foundation’s website at lrscholarship.org.
