2019 LCEF Rosecutting Scholarship Recipients
The Lake Cities Education Foundation was formed in 2000 to assist the students and teachers of the Lake Dallas Independent School District through the awarding of innovative teaching grants and scholarships to graduating seniors of Lake Dallas High School.
Funds are raised for these grants and scholarships through our annual fundraisers, the Gala and auction held each fall and Memorial Golf Tournament held each summer. However, some family members and friends have also chosen to memorialize their loved ones through permanently endowed scholarships. At Rosecutting 19 years ago, $4,500 in LCEF scholarships were awarded to 9 students. Since then over $407,000 has been awarded to 309 seniors.
At this year’s Rosecutting, we were thrilled to award 23 deserving members of the Class of 2019 with scholarships totaling $47,500. Please join us in congratulating these scholarship recipients:
