The Lake Norman Little League Higher Education Scholarship was established in 2021 by the league's Board of Directors to reward former/current Lake Norman Little League baseball and/or softball players, who embody the ideals and values of Lake Norman Little League, with financial assistance for higher education or fees associated with the first year of trade school instruction. In order to be eligible to receive this scholarship, the applicant must be a senior in high school and meet the other eligibility criteria set forth below. There is no relationship between the award of this scholarship and athletic ability. While seasons of play in Lake Norman Little League is one criteria used to determine scholarship recipients, other factors, including but not limited to an applicant’s service to Lake Norman Little League (including, for example, as an umpire, helper or other efforts in support of the league), community involvement, volunteer hours and academic achievement will be considered when awarding these scholarships.
