Each year the Saratoga Springs Lions Foundation, in conjunction with the Saratoga Springs Lions Club, awards scholarships to three college-bound high school seniors who have demonstrated high academic standards, community service, and an understanding of Lionism.

Two of the scholarships, at $750 each, are designated for members of the Leos Club, the student arm of the Saratoga Springs Lions Club. The third scholarship, $3,000, is open to any graduating senior from Saratoga Springs High School or Saratoga Central Catholic High School.

Applications can be obtained from the guidance office at each school.
