Quite often a fellowship is arranged at a unversity.  School Grants. A system exists whereby the schools within the Clubs area notify the Club if a student is lacking funds to conduct their way through school ( inclusive of excursions ) in a manner less than acceptable to the Principal of that school. Community Service. Any person who can be seen to genuinely need aid can be given manpower for transport, to mow lawns, repair houses and fences, gardening, painting, chopping wood ,etc.         Lions Links
