STUDENT SPEAKERS CONTEST

 

 

The Lions Clubs of District 46 are proud to sponsor our 8th Annual Lions Student Speakers Contest for our area high school students.  This enables the students to earn scholarships to help continue their higher education.

 

A total of $6,450 Scholarship to the Overall Winner.  $1,250 Scholarship to the Region Winner!

 

Our challenging topic for this year is:

 

IMMIGRATION REFORM

 

This thought provoking subject will give our youth the opportunity to explore in depth a topic that is of vital interest here and abroad; and one that needs immediate attention.

 

  • Club contest - the club shall present $25 to each finalist and $75 to the winner.
  • Zone contest - the District presents $125 to the winner.
  • Region contest - the Lions Student Speaker Foundation awards a $1,250 scholarship to the winner.
  • District contest - the Lions Student Speaker Foundation awards a $5,000 scholarship to the winner.

 

The scholarships awards are granted for use at any accredited two or four year college, university, or to any other school approved by the Lions of District 46 Student Speaker Foundation, Inc.

 

The purpose of the contest is to provide an opportunity for competitive public speaking among students on a subject of vital interest to the contestants, as well as to the American people as a whole; and to stimulate self-expression and independent thinking.

 

The contest is open to students, including foreign exchange students, grades 9 through 12, of any high school, charter school, private school or home school.
