THE LAKE RIDGE LIONS CLUB CHARITIES MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Lake Ridge Lions Club Memorial Scholarship program was established in 1980 in response to the first loss of an active member of our club, James Dunivin. Since then, three additional active members, Horace Franklin, Don Keyes and Bill Briggs, have passed on. This scholarship is presented in their memory and to honor their service to the community. As Lions, we believe that service to the community is an important personal attribute. Recognition of a student through this memorial scholarship is one way for us to honor those who have gone before us and to promote the legacy of community service that we believe in. The scholarship is a one year grant in the amount of one thousand dollars.
ELIGIBILITY
The applicant must be a graduating high school student whose parents or guardians reside in the Lake Ridge Lions Club service area (defined as postal zip code 22192) and must be accepted to an accredited institution of post-secondary education. Payment will be made directly to the institution in the name of the scholarship recipient.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of the following criteria: (1) demonstrated service to the community (this includes school, church and the community at large); and (2) an academic record indicative of likely success in post-secondary education (defined as a letter of acceptance and a high school cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4 point scale). In addition, if the applicant feels that financial hardship is a factor, it may be taken into consideration by the selecting committee when awarding the scholarship. At the close of the application period, all complete applications will be evaluated by the Lake Ridge Lions Club Scholarship Committee and ranked according to the criteria. The top three applicants will be interviewed by the Committee. The scholarship winner will be determined on the basis of a completed application and the results of their personal interview with the Lake Ridge Lions Club Scholarship Committee. One scholarship will be awarded. |
