Southwest Scholarship

In recognition of their academic excellence, Southwest scholars will receive a minimum guaranteed scholarship of $36,000 annually—$144,000 over four years. 

The Southwest Scholars program recognizes high school seniors from the Southwest states (AZ, NV, NM, OK and TX) who show promise for academic achievement and have the potential to contribute to the community at Lake Forest College.

First-year applicants are considered automatically for this award, without regard to financial need. No additional application is required. Candidates will be notified of their award at the time of admission.

You may qualify for additional scholarship funds. Lake Forest College offers talent-based scholarships in music, studio art, and theater. Scholarships require an application for admission, the scholarship application, and either an audition for music and theater or a portfolio review for studio art.
