The Andover Lions Club offers two scholarships every year:
John Thompson Memorial Scholarship: $1,000
Stephen Jewett Memorial Scholarship: $1,000
Because no scholarships were given last year, for this year only we will offer two additional scholarships to college freshmen, with the same guidelines in place.
Criteria
First priority will be given to graduating high school seniors with financial need and strong academics who are a resident of Andover or Danbury.
Second priority will be given to students enrolled in, or applying for, continuing education undergraduate programs with financial need and strong academics, who are a resident of Andover or Danbury.
Scholarships will be paid after successful completion of the first semester. The President or a designee of the Andover Lions Club will present the scholarship.
The Andover Lions Club Scholarship Application Form must be used. Forms are supplied to guidance departments of Merrimack Valley High School, Newfound Regional High School, and Proctor Academy. Forms may be duplicated as needed.
