Giving to Future leaders
Our club sponsors yearly scholarships for all three of our local high schools. Scholarship chairperson, Jerry Shipman, partners with our Albany Public Scholarship Foundation to collect applicant packets each year. Candidates must have their packets into the foundation no later than His leadership team reviews these applicants and determines who from each school listed below will receive our annual East Albany Lions Club or Jack Haines Memorial Scholarship. Each student will receive $2,000 scholarship towards their college education as the Foundation will transfer money to their elected college.
