Dear Lane Tech Class of 2021,


Welcome to the Lane Tech Alumni Association (LTAA) Scholarship Program home page! We are thrilled that you have decided to apply for one of the LTAA’s scholarships. For over thirty-three consecutive years, the LTAA has been privileged to award scholarships to deserving Lane Tech seniors and to date over $2 million has been gifted!

What makes these gifts particularly meaningful is that they are “all in the family.” Scholarships managed by the LTAA are typically funded by alumni, or given in honor of alumni or Lane faculty members, and always give recognition to the special heritage of Lane Tech. The scholarship program would not exist were it not for the generosity of our alumni and their friends and family.

We extend our gratitude to each of these donors and share in their pride, knowing you will be fearless and bold in your future achievements. We thank you for your time in applying and wish you the very best of everything in your future academic endeavors.

Herbert Berg ’67 | LTAA Scholarship Committee Chair
