The Scholarship

The Luc Gates Foundation is proud to offer this scholarship to select students that personify the respectful, selfless and leadership traits that Luc exhibited throughout his life. While academic achievements are important, we encourage all students to apply as this scholarship is awarded to individuals committed to sportsmanship, honor and respect to themselves, their families and their community.

The Luc Gates Foundation awards four scholarships to seniors graduating from Franklin County high schools that are pursuing a degree at a two or four year college or university. Two scholarships will be awarded to students graduating from Enosburg Falls High School (one male and one female). The two remaining scholarships will be awarded to deserving applicants from the following schools:

• Richford Jr. / Sr. High School
• Missisquoi Valley Union High School
• Bellows Free Academy of St. Albans
• Bellows Free Academy of Fairfax

Each scholarship awarded will be in the amount of $1,000.00 per 4 year school or $ 500.00 per 2 year school. The awarded amount and time line is as follows:

• $ 250.00 – Issued at the end of the first semester
• $ 250.00 – Beginning of the second year
• $ 250.00 – Beginning of the third year
• $ 250.00 – Beginning of the fourth year
