MANHATTAN LIONS CLUB

Manhattan, Illinois

 The Manhattan Lions Club is very proud to announce that our 2011 scholarship has been awarded to James E. Repka. James will graduate from Lincoln-Way Central High School with a 3.784 grade point average and he is ranked in the top quarter of his class.

James wanted to be a Finance major, but after being given the chance to manage a restaurant he realized that he enjoyed the innovative and managerial challenges that face a young entrepreneur. His work experience has taught him a lot of the do's and don'ts of business management. With this experience and drive James decided he wanted to go to college and earn a degree within Finance and Business Management.

James plans to use the $1,000.00 scholarship for tuition at Emory University where he intends to study Finance and Business Management. Congratulations and best of luck to James.
