"Awarding scholarships that empower local students to achieve their
educational goals."

Saranac Lake Women's College Scholarship Club: promoting Higher Education in the Saranac Lake area since 1939.

We offer scholarships for high school & homeschool graduates as well as non-traditional students going back for further education after an absence from formal education.

The 'women' part of our name does not mean only women can apply! Our scholarships are open to all, regardless of gender. Go to our 'Apply' page to learn more.

Thank you to our donors...

WCSC is so grateful to all the local businesses donations, individuals who donated through our annual campaign, and to Stewart's and the Cloudsplitter Foundation for our grants awarded for scholarships this year.

Due to the generosity of our community and these grants we are able to increase our scholarship amount this year to $2,000 each per recipient.

Thank you for supporting the educational dreams of our local students!
