Lakeshore College awarded $1.7M in grants

April 21, 2025

CLEVELAND – Lakeshore College has been awarded $1.7 million in grants from the Wisconsin Technical College System.

College President Paul Carlsen said the grant funds will be used to expand Lakeshore’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning installation program and maintenance mechanic program. 

In addition, Carlsen said the funding will support equipment purchases for Lakeshore’s recently renovated and expanded Community Dental Clinic to support a new dental hygiene program launching in fall 2026.

Funds, he said, will also support more high school students taking dual credit courses – building momentum from the 2023-24 academic year, which saw 1,827 high school students earn college credits through Lakeshore, saving families $835,000 in tuition.

“We continue to be successful in securing grant funding,” Carlsen said. “These $1.7 million in funds will directly benefit our students by providing new opportunities and resources to support their success.”
