Established in 1990 by Lake Michigan Credit Union (LMCU), the annual Lloyd F. Hutt Scholarship essay contest provides local high school seniors with the opportunity to win one of fifteen $2,000 college scholarships. This scholarship program honors the legacy of LMCU founder, Lloyd F. Hutt, and his lifelong commitment to education and community involvement.
This year’s essay topic:
“But we've always done it that way.” Name something you'd change and why.
Applicants are required to write an original 750-1,500 word essay exploring the topic. Essays will be evaluated by a panel of independent judges, with the greatest emphasis placed on passion for the topic, creativity, clarity and originality.
Since 1991, the Lloyd F. Hutt Scholarship has provided over $361,500 in scholarship dollars to local high school seniors. Last year, 1,070 essays were received for consideration.
