SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.  Deserving Lake Superior State University business students will now get a full years annual tuition plus real-world experience, thanks to the Hantz Financial Group.
The Hantz Group Academic Award is open to any student majoring in business who has reached his or her junior year (88 credits) in good academic standing. Candidates must demonstrate campus or community leadership and/or represent LSSU in any Division I or Division II athletic program.
In return for a full years tuition, the student will work with the LSSU business faculty to coordinate a one-day activity for other students on topics such as resume writing, internship opportunities, and interview role-playing.
He or she will also meet once a semester with a representative of the Hantz Group in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., for mentoring. The student will also participate in a one-week internship at Hantz Groups downstate corporate headquarters.
Candidates may be from anywhere in the world; financial need is a consideration, but not a determining factor. However, only students on a four-year track are eligible for the scholarship. Applicants need to submit a letter of application expressing why they would be good recipients of the award.
A screening committee of LSSU School of Business faculty members and a representative from the Hantz Groups Sault Ste. Marie office will meet each spring semester to select a successful candidate and, if possible, an alternate. Finalists will be asked to respond in writing to a set of questions.
The Hantz Financial Group is a full-service financial holding company with corporate headquarters in Southfield, Mich.
