Priest Lake Lions Scholarships

All 2025 high school seniors, including those schooled on-line or at home and GED graduates whose parent(s) or guardians have had and currently have a primary residence in the local Priest Lake Elementary School attendance area for the past seven years or more, are eligible to apply for a Priest Lake Lions Club Scholarship which can be up to $5,000.

If you meet this qualification, we encourage you to apply. Please provide the following information to the Scholarship Committee for consideration no later than Friday, April 25, 2025 for evaluation. Follow the format below closely and present your bound application to me. If you are unable to complete one of the four criteria, tell us why in your letter of introduction (#1).

1. Letter of introduction telling about you. Tell of your postgraduate goals including college, university or trade school of choice and your career plan. If you are not considering an academic path, we strongly urge you to think about some sort of skills education, as our growing Priest Lake community is in great need of more people in trades.

2. High school transcript, including your grade point average, or an equivalent record of academic accomplishments.

3. Your extra-curricular activities, leadership positions, and community service. As you may know, the Lions Club's motto is "We Serve!"

4. Two or three letters of recommendation from teachers, school administrators, employers or other responsible adult supervisors.

If you are awarded a scholarship, you must enroll for the 2025/2026 school year in an accredited institution of higher learning: i.e., college, university or trade school. The scholarship funds will be sent to that school on your behalf.

The Priest Lake Lions Club is pleased to offer you this opportunity. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Jamie at the Priest Lake Library is available to help you prepare your application, or for any further questions.
