Development
One of the most important aspects of SLLI's growth in the last few
years has been the generosity of businesses and organizations in our region.
The Sweetgrass Foundation has graciously provided tuition assistance,
first in 2004 with a direct grant, and a year later with a matching grant
for a scholarship endowment. In 2008 the Sweetgrass Foundation again offered
SLLI a two-year matching grant opportunity for tuition and scholarship
assistance.
Since 2005, the Development Authority of the North Country (DANC) has awarded a grant to help fund scholarships and alumni initiatives, including our Leadership Speaker Series. When the opportunity presents, and as alumni request, SLLI sponsors a speaker of national renown to address some aspect of leadership. In 2006, SLLI hosted Michael Shuman, a lecturer, attorney, economist, entrepreneur, and author. His talk, "Small-Mart Leadership: The Key to Economic Prosperity" was co-sponsored by DANC, Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University, and the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. A donation from Alcoa - Massena Operations made it possible for the event to be free and open to the public.
In addition, SLLI has received general operating and scholarship support from its 250-member alumni body, diverse businesses and organizations like Penski Inc. and the United Way.

County is welcome to contact SLLI Treasurer Pat McKeown at
