Ramsey Lions Club
Each year our Club donates funds to provide for scholarships to graduating seniors who plan to attend any post secondary school. The amounts are:
Anoka High School 4-$1000 scholarships
Elk River High School 4-$1000 scholarships
St. Francis High School. 2-$1000 scholarships
Students apply for these scholarships through their respective High School scholarship committees. Our requirement is that the recipients at Anoka and Elk River High Schools be residents of Ramsey and that the St. Francis High School recipients are residents of Ramsey or Nowthen. They must have demonstrated personal character traits of integrity, leadership and maturity of purpose.
These funds are paid out to the recipients after they have successfully completed one grading period and have provided us with a transcript.
