Lions Legacy Scholarship Program

Lions clubs are made up of men and women who share a commitment to making their communities better places in which to live.

The results of this commitment can be seen in Lions Parks; Community Centres; Sports Teams; Seniors Centres and much more.

The Lions of Alberta Foundation wishes to recognize the youth of these communities who share this desire to contribute something, on a volunteer basis, to the communities in which they live.

This is a joint venture between the local Lions club and the province wide Lions Foundation of Alberta.

The Foundation is offering $250 to match a similar amount presented by the local Lions club. The Lions Legacy Scholarship will recognize a combination of community service and academic achievement with an emphasis on community service.

These annual scholarships are limited to one scholarship per high school, per Lions club.

Lions Legacy Scholarship will be awarded to students who: * Live in Lions Multiple District 37, * Have or will have graduated from Grade 12 at the time of presentation and have acceptance at a post-secondary institution of one or more years of study leading to a certificate or degree * Have not reached their twentieth birthday at time of application. * Submit the following items to their local Lions Club: **Application form (available from schools or local Lions clubs) **A transcript of most recent marks from the educational institution last attended. **Confirmation of acceptance (e.g. tution receipt), the name of the post secondary institution and the specific field, school, or faculty into which they are enrolling. **Letters of reference (maximum of four) with a detailed summary of their character, leadership roles within the school, involvement in extra-curricular activities at school, involvement in organizations in the community at large, work experience and special interest/hobbies. **One-page self-written letter expressing whey they should receive the award. * Demonstrate a commitment to humanitarian causes and exhibit the Lion's service-oriented philosophy by actively volunteering in their communities.
