Union Lions Club Scholarship Application Form
BACKGROUND:
The Union Lions Club typically awards $1500 scholarships to selected graduating senior high school students. The funds for these awards come from some of the fundraisers held int he community and donations from the public. Three of these scholarships bear the name of some of our memorable alumni that have passed on leaving both a mark in the community and an incredible amount of public service.
