The "Lions Fourth District Student Speakers Foundation, Inc." is a California nonprofit corporation administered by a board of seven directors and sixteen trustees. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide scholarships to augment the prizes awarded to the winners of the California-Nevada, Multiple District Four Student Speakers Program.
This year the Foundation will provide scholarships totaling $100,000.00. From this amount, each of the sixteen District winners will receive a $4,000.00 scholarship, each of the four Area winners will receive an additional $6,500.00 scholarship and the winner of the Multiple District Four Contest will receive an additional $10,000.00 scholarship.
The assets of the Foundation are invested primarily in federally insured, term accounts to provide the highest rate of return obtainable with maximum guaranteed security for the assets of the Foundation. With this investment policy and with additional income provided through contributions to the Foundation, the Lions Fourth District Student Speakers Foundation, Inc. will be able to continue its annual support of the scholarship awards program.
To provide for recognition of outstanding service to Lionism and to the community by the Lions, Lioness, Leos and friends of Multiple District Four, the Foundation has established four fellowships to honor past International Officers of Lions Clubs International who have been instrumental in the formation, operation and support of the Foundation. These Fellowships are:
