Our Mission
The Litchfield High School Scholarship Association, now known as the Litchfield Scholarship Association, came to be as the result of the generous spirit and inspiration of Rose Brennan, alumna and teacher at Litchfield High School. In 1938 she saw her students turning down a chance to go to college because they couldn’t afford it. She collected whatever money she and her colleagues could afford and made the first scholarship awards in the school’s history. Ever since, thousands of scholarships have been given to several hundred deserving students.
Apply for Scholarships
Students who are residents of Litchfield and attending Lakeview High School, or Alumni of Litchfield High School, are eligible to apply to the Litchfield Scholarship Association.

Click the Apply Now button to access the online portal, create your account and complete the application. Please answer all questions on the application to the best of your ability. You will find more detailed information on the portal site.
By the end of April, Litchfield Scholarship Association members will contact graduating senior applicants to go over any questions pertaining to your application, to learn more about your college aspirations and to gain an understanding about any extenuating circumstances or additional information you were not able to include in your application. Alumni applications will be reviewed by mid-June and notification will be sent to recipients.
Our goal is to inform you of our decision prior to your declaration day for college choice and/or to meet college expense deadlines.
