Scholarships played a huge role in Tucker Bercier’s college journey. He chose LRSC because it was a way to learn to be independent yet close to home. While at LRSC he’s received honor scholarships, the Susan E. Greenleaf endowed scholarship and external scholarships.

“Scholarships have been beneficial in allowing me to focus on the content of my studies, rather than the financial burdens. The generous donors of LRSC have helped shape my entire career path, so I am forever grateful."

After graduating this December, Bercier transferred to continue studies with a goal of being a social science educator.
