One of the many missions of the Whitefield Lions Club is to support local youth. Each year the Whitefield Lions Club Scholarship Committee chooses among deserving applicants based on academic performance, perseverance, leadership, community service and career goals. The Whitefield Lions recognizes six graduating seniors. These students will receive a $1,000 scholarship towards furthering their education after their completion of their first semester.

This year the club is proud to recognize LilliAnn Brooks, of Lincoln Academy, who will receive the Lion Ronald Kenoyer Scholarship and will be attending Central Maine Community College, and Husson University, in Bangor, to become a Certified Public Accountant, Joslyn Sandoval, of Erskine Academy, in South China, who will receive the Legacy Award and will be attending Aveda Institute of Cosmetology, Loralie Grady, of Cony high School, in Augusta, who will receive a scholarship and attend University of Maine Farmington for Psychology-Social Work, Carter Rau, of Erskine Academy, in South China, who will receive a scholarship and attend Southern Maine Community College, and study Communications and New Media with a Videography focus, Ashley Kalloch, of Hall-Dale High School, she will be attending Kennebec Valley Community College and Study Business Administration, and Emmet Appel, of Erskine Academy, in South China, who will be attending Princeton University and study mechanical engineering and public policy.

These students and their parents/grandparents were honored at the Lions Club dinner on May 22, 2025.
