Lars Lyon Service Award

About the Program

While at Duke, Lars was an active and enthusiastic volunteer, serving valuable organizations such as Circle K International and the Ronald McDonald House. The Community Service Center gives the Lars Lyon Award every April to one Duke employee and one rising sophomore, junior or senior student.

To be considered, undergraduates must have exhibited a strong dedication to service while at Duke and must be nominated by a member of the faculty or staff, a fellow student, or a representative of a Durham non-profit or public school. Employees must be nominated by a representative of a local non-profit or school with which they volunteer.

The student recipient of the Lars Lyon Volunteer Service Award receives a partial scholarship toward his or her tuition the following academic year. The nominating organization of the employee Lars Lyon Award recipient receives a support gift from the university.

The nomination process will open in Spring 2019. Recipient will receive a partial scholarship of $12,500 and will be announced at the IN THE SPOTLIGHT: celebrating student leadership and service program.
