The SHLC/Pierson Scholarship Fund

From 2019-2023, the Sag Harbor Lions Club has awarded more than $170,000 in Scholarship Funds to Pierson Seniors.

Our mission is simple – we want to raise funds for college-bound Pierson seniors to help them and their families with tuition. The criteria for selecting our scholarship winners include academic excellence, teacher and community recommendations, a written essay, extracurricular activities, community service, and financial need. Our selection committee of five is chaired by Lion Mark Poitras, a Pierson graduate.
