Scholarship Program

“WE SERVE” is the motto of Lions Club International. These are very important words to Mount Prospect Lions Club members. The Lions willingly give time and talent to our club activities, to our community and professions promoting the objectives of the International Association of Lions Clubs.

The Mount Prospect Lions Club offers three different scholarships:

3. Evidence of academic achievement (i.e. National Honor Society, Honor Roll etc.).
4. Accepted to an accredited institution (college or vocational).
5. Exhibited participation in community service and school activities.
