2026 SCHOLARSHIPS

The LOCC has awarded a $1,000 Scholarship to a local graduating student that is continuing his education in the automotive field. LOCC Vice President Parker Darr awarded Gavin Franklin (from Montreal) who graduated from Lake Career and Technical Center. Gavin plans to attend Ozark Technical College in Springfield to study Diesel Technology. The annual awards continue to be one of the ways LOCC gives back to the Lake community and is made possible through membership dues collected annually. Congratulations to this area student!
