Lisle Lions Club offers two scholarships

The Lisle Lions Club is committed to serving and meeting the needs of the Lisle community, as well as working on world-wide causes serving the visually-impaired. The club also is dedicated to youth programs and the scholarships awards are one way the club assists local youth. The motto of the international Lions organization is simply, "We serve."

Two $500 scholarships will be awarded. The awards can be renewed annually up to three more times for a total of $2,000 per recipient. Each subsequent installment requires a brief renewal application. Awards are paid directly to the recipient, in care of the college of choice.

All high school seniors who live in Lisle's 60532 ZIP code are eligible to apply for the scholarships.

Scholarship applications are evaluated by a committee of the Lisle Lions Club Educational Foundation. The club is committed to the ideals of community service, work ethic and personal growth, and we seek to encourage these qualities in young adults. They emphasize the following factors in evaluating applications: leadership, academic potential, community participation, career aspirations, and financial need.
