Helpful Application Tips

  • Create a User Name and Password for STARS online application.
  • Write it down! You cannot access your application without it!
  • There is no "SUBMIT" button on the application or email confirmation. 
  • Questions or problems logging in? Send an email that includes Full Name and Application Question in the subject line to scholarships@laneccfoundation.org. Someone will try to get back to you as soon as possible. If you wait until the scholarship deadline, it is very unlikely you will get a response in time to complete your application.
