Scholarships have been awarded by this Rotary Club for many years. The Foundation determines the amount each year considering fundraising results from the prior year. Since 2011, the dollar amount was increased to $1000 each.
Scholarships must be applied for through the Guidance Office of a student’s respective school. Scholarships are awarded to candidates who apply and demonstrate their commitment to Rotary’s values of integrity and high standards and their community service. Scholarships are also awarded to candidates of our STRIVE program and our Interact program.
Scholarship applications are accepted beginning in March and decisions are made in May. Each high school guidance office has the scholarship application forms. Eligibility requirements include acceptance by and enrollment in a four-year college or university.
