LAKE LURE – Lake Lure Lions Club scholarships for 2025 have been awarded to Jordyn McCollim and Karyn Huskey for the amount of $1,500 each.
The recipients must be North Carolina residents residing in Lake Lure or attend the Lake Lure Classical Academy and must be accepted to a state college, university, community college or vocational/technical school.
The 2025 Lions Club scholarship winners are Lake Lure residents, Jordyn Mccollim and Karyn Huskey. MCollim graduated from Lake Lure Classical Academy and Huskey graduated from Polk County High School.
Jordyn has been accepted into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she plans to study biology to eventually pursue a healthcare career as a physician.
Karyn has been accepted at Gardner Webb University where she plans to major in Animal Science and minor in Agricultural Business as well as run Cross Country Track & Field. Karyn aspires to one day open her own business.
The primary selection criteria are based on grade point average, school activities, extracurricular activities and community service. Each student completed an application to include high school transcripts, 2 letters of recommendation and a personal statement. In the personal statement each student articulates their career aspirations including their higher education plans and who in their life has inspired them to follow their aspirations and why.
The Lake Lure Lions Club scholarship selection committee is made up of three active members of the Lake Lure Lions Club. This year’s committee consists of Judy Jay (Committee Chair), Monica Faherty and Kristen Boyd.
Lake Lure Lions Club President, Fay Kobland, said she was impressed by these students’ achievements, applications, references, and vision for their career paths after high school. “It is obvious that these students have strong visions about what they want to do in adulthood and the path to achieve it. I am so proud that the Lions were able to provide the opportunity to share in their future plans.”
