For the fourth time in the past five years, Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland has been chosen as a top-10 Bellwether Award finalist.
The annual award recognizes community colleges with innovative, trendsetting programs in place that other colleges can replicate to address the critical issues facing community colleges across the country.
LTC is the only college in Wisconsin to be named to the list.
Lakeshore is a finalist in the Planning, Government and Finance category and its entry showcases its new pre-award grant strategy.
LTC President Dr. Paul Carlsen said in a news release, “The changes we purposefully made to how we identify and pursue grants directly contributed to our average annual competitive grant award more than doubling.”
He added, “This resulted in a record $8 million in funding over the last year.”
Carlsen said, “Because of this funding, we have been able to better respond to changing industry needs, invest in new equipment, provide additional targeted outreach and support and try new, innovative ways to achieve our mission.”
