Club Responsibilities for Sponsoring A Scholarship Applicant

The reasoning behind a Lions Club sponsoring the applicant is to form a basis to meet these young people and their parents or to go to the schools and meet the school counselor with the intent of promoting Lionism. This will give you an opportunity to introduce yourself and possibly your club to them.
In the event an applicant you sponsored should receive one of the scholarships:
A check to the applicant will be sent to your club.
The Foundation requests you present the check to the applicant at a club function.
Take pictures and post on your Facebook page, website and Social Media (Twitter or Instagram) with hashtags (#LionsMD6, #WeServe & #LionClubs).
There is no limit as to the number of scholarship applicants a club may sponsor.
