The Gull Lake Community Schools Foundation is honored to facilitate scholarships available to Gull Lake students. The funds for these scholarships are provided by the generous support of community organizations, individuals, and families. All scholarships awarded are subject to full funding from our donors.

We have categorized some of the scholarships below to help with your search. Many of our scholarships are available to students with a variety of backgrounds or intended fields of study.

The GLCS Foundation will no longer award the James R. Ryan Family Foundation Middle School Scholarship. All previously awarded scholarships are fully-funded and payments will continue to be administered by the Gull Lake Community Schools Foundation for recipients who are currently attending Gull Lake High School or college.

Although the James R. Ryan Family Foundation is moving in another direction, the GLCS Foundation remains incredibly grateful for the generosity of the family and the ability to support the college education of 13 recipients since 2005.

Congratulations to the 2025 GLCS Foundation Scholarship Recipients!
