Once again in 2025, the Owensboro Lions Club presented four $1000 scholarships to students representing our four local colleges at our October 7 meeting. Pictured from left to right are the students and college representatives who joined us for lunch and the scholarship presentations: Owensboro Community & Technical College - Rosa Gogel, Interim Director of Financial aid, accompanied by scholarship recipient Anna Napier; Western Kentucky University Owensboro - Academic Advisor Amy Watkins; and Brescia University - Lauren Osowicz, Director of Advancement, accompanied by scholarship recipient Kennedy Murphy. Unfortunately, the WKU student recipient, Amber Thayer, and the student and college representative from Kentucky Wesleyan College were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

We would like to congratulate the scholarship recipients and thank these institutions for their efforts to improve the quality of life in our community.
