Carver Lions Scholarships
The Carver Lions support a wide variety of local, national and international causes, including the support of educational excellence. We believe that well-educated citizens strengthen our communities and improve our nation. Our commitment to educational excellence is another way we live out our motto, “We Serve.”
For 2016 we are planning to award one $1000 scholarship for a current high school student and one $1000 scholarships to a student enrolled in a post high school program in 2016. Scholarships are to be used for post high school education in the 2016-2017 school year.
