Cranbury Lions Student ProgramsThe Lions Club of Cranbury is administering two Scholarships, one Award and a Seminar sponsorship, all of which are available to students residing in Cranbury. The descriptions of each are attached. Students are encouraged to apply for the scholarships and seminar; and parents, school staff members, youth leaders, and neighbors are encouraged to nominate any worthy student for the Stan Thomas Community Service Award. Stan Thomas Community Service AwardStan Thomas, a life long resident of Cranbury, shared his time and energy, without
compensation, and in a most altruistic fashion, with the volunteer organizations in
Cranbury, and in particular, The Lions Club, Boy Scout Troop 52, and his church. The Stan
Thomas Community Service Award is sponsored by the Cranbury Lions Club, and will be
awarded, each year, to one Cranbury Youth who exhibits the spirit of Community Service
that Stan Thomas exhibited throughout his lifetime. Full details can be found here: Dr. David C. Tudor Memorial ScholarshipDr. David C. Tudor, a member of the Cranbury Lions since 1985, was a practicing
veterinarian on Station Road, as well as a Professor at Rutgers University.
"Doc" Tudor became a Melvin Jones Fellow in 1993, one of the highest Lion's
awards, and was a member of the Cranbury Lions Board of Directors, as well as serving a
term as Vice President. He was selected as Cranbury Lion of the Year in 1986. A
scholarship, administered by the Cranbury Lions, has been established in his name. This
scholarship is given annually to a Cranbury high school senior who will major in Science
at an accredited college AND/OR to Cranbury college students already with a major in
science. Full details can be found here: Todd M. Beamer Memorial ScholarshipTodd M. Beamer, a resident of Cranbury, gave his life on 9-11-01 leading other
passengers in overpowering the hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93. Beamer's actions
caused the Boeing 757 to crash in Pennsylvania, foiling the hijacker's plan of flying the
aircraft into an unknown Washington, DC target. This ultimate unselfish act no doubt saved
hundreds of lives, at the cost of his own. A scholarship, administered by the Cranbury
Lions, has been established in his name. This scholarship is given annually to a Cranbury
high school senior who has best demonstrated Citizenship. Full details can be found here: |
