The members of the Mattapoisett Lions Club are please to announce the awarding of a $5,000 scholarship this year to a graduating high school senior residing in Mattapoisett, Marion or Rochester. The funds for this award are raised through fund raisers held by the Mattapoisett Lions Club throughout the year, including Harbor Days, an annual Arts and Craft Festival held in Shipyard Park every third weekend of July.
The Lions’ Club Motto is ‘We Serve’ and one of the largest charitable causes of Lions’ International includes raising funds for eye research in an effort to end preventable blindness throughout the world and providing services for those in need in our communities.
To qualify, a graduating student or home-schooled student shall be enrolled in their first year of an accredited school of higher education, must be a resident of the Tri-Town area, and have demonstrated service to the community. Special consideration will be given to those looking to a career in an eyesight related field.
Applications are available in the guidance office of your local high school or by contacting Helene Rose 508-758-2124. Applications must be received by March 30.
