LCCF Scholarship Fund Succes Story
Since 2010 the Earl Law-Perry White VFW Scholarship Fund of the Les Cheneaux Community Foundation has awarded a total of $29,000 distributed among 23 different students from Cedarville and Pickford High School. One worthy recipient of this scholarship is Jennifer Sherlund, Cedarville Class of 2016. Jennifer attended Alma College for her bachelors and Michigan State for her master’s degree in social work. Jennifer is now giving back to the community and is employed as Cedarville School’s Social Worker. We are grateful to the VFW Post 7958 and Lynn Berryhill Forrester for generously supporting students as they pursue higher education with this fund.

Cedarville Highschool YAC students held their "Shark Tank" review of LCCF's Fall grant applicants. After careful consideration, the students voted to use earnings from the Youth Endowment Fund to help support 2 of the projects that will impact local youth: Cedar Post Thrift Shop /Emergency Food Pantry Support and The Hessel Beach Playground Project. The students are learning important skills in civic reponsibility and making decisions as a group.
