ELKMONT LIONS CLUB SCHOLARSHIP GO TO.....

The Lions Club is a national service organization; their motto is "WE SERVE".  Our Elkmont Lions Club is a fantastic example of being active in their community. Several years ago, the Elkmont Lions Club decided to honor a student at Elkmont High School with a scholarship. Since community service is their primary interest, it was the most important qualification in the selection process.  If candidates had equal service hours, secondary qualifications were considered.

After many hours and your great support of our projects, we were able to offer two scholarships to our graduating 2018 Seniors. This year we are happy to award the scholarships to Raileigh Wallace and Marianna Cooper. Raileigh is going to the University of Alabama this fall.  Her planned area of study will be in the medical field.   Marianna will be hanging her hat at Birmingham Southern College, where she will seek a degree in Business and Marketing. Both of these young ladies are exceptional examples of our young people and volunteering in community service.  They have many, many hours of service - not only in this community, but in school, church, and other organizations. Their grades are also exceptional and we forward to seeing what they become in the future.

The Lions Club will be looking to present a scholarship next May to another community minded senior.  If you are in high school, you can start to qualify now by volunteering.  You can help your community, school, church or other organizations. Keep a log of those hours so the number is easy to obtain for the Lions Club Scholarship in addition to other scholarship applications. We can help these awards to continue by supporting our Elkmont Lions Club's projects. The next Lion event is the Smokin' Railroad Street BBQ Cook-off, June 29-30.
