The Zebulon Lions Club and Zebulon Lions Auxiliary jointly provide scholarships for college-bound students who exhibit outstanding leadership in the area of service to their community. Scholarship recipients are selected by the Zebulon Lions Club Scholarship Committee. An applicant’s record of service to his or her school and community is the major criterion for selection. The Selection Committee will also consider an applicant’s academic performance, personal references and the applicant’s personal statement. The applicant must be a member of the 2018 high school graduating class.
The Zebulon Lions are interested in rewarding area students who have demonstrated personal integrity and a commitment to the concept of service to others. The financial status of the applicant, and/or his or her family, is not considered.
The Zebulon Lions reserve the right to withhold any scholarship award if, in the opinion of the Club’s Scholarship Committee, the Club does not receive any applications that merit consideration. Multiple scholarship awards, eachfor at least $1000.00,are presented annually by the Zebulon Lions.
