Impact
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being selected as the recipient of the Red Lodge Lions Club Scholarship! The monies from this scholarship will really ease the financial burden on my family as I continue my education. It is important that you know this money means more to me than financial aid; it means a chance to focus my attention on what is truly important in life. Throughout the trials and tribulations I have endured raising a sick child, I am constantly amazed by the generosity of others; selfless acts of giving are unquestionably the most important things in life and your organization embodies that… Thank you again for selecting me as the recipient for this scholarship and thank you for your tireless efforts in improving our community!” — Claire E., Business Administration major with a Management option
