SAN DIEGO DOWNTOWN LIONS SCHOLARSHIP FUND
(for graduating seniors from Hoover, Garfield, Kearny, Lincoln, Monarch, Touissant, Twain and San Diego High School only)

The San Diego Downtown Lions Club, through its Welfare Foundation, has scholarship assistance available to students graduating from area high schools so that they may pursue higher education in the undergraduate college or vocational school of their choice. Scholarships of $1,000.00 will be awarded to each student selected.

• Applicants must be resident U.S. citizens or legal residents with alien registration cards.
• Graduating seniors will be selected only from Hoover, Garfield, Kearny, Lincoln, Monarch, Touissant, Twain or San Diego High School as this scholarship is intended to assist graduating seniors from the geographical operating area of the Downtown San Diego Lions Club.

We are seeking individuals who have demonstrated, and will continue to demonstrate, a desire to serve their communities. We wish to foster this spirit of community service in the young people who will receive our scholarships. For this reason scholarships will be awarded based on scholarship merit, financial need and demonstrated community service.

Applicants should fully complete the application form and financial data form each time they apply. Graduating seniors should provide transcripts from their high school.

All applicants should submit a typed essay explaining why they deserve this scholarship. The essay should include all activity outside of studies that can be shown to be beneficial to others, including own family members (house helper & job related services), musical, sports, civic groups, church, etc. If you are a student at one of the high schools above, and wish to apply for a scholarship, please see your school counselor for an application.

Your completed application must be received by the San Diego Lions Club or postmarked by  MARCH 10, 2009.   No late applications will be accepted.
