Applications Being Accepted
Each year our club is committed to sponsoring two students in total from the towns of Ayer, Shirley, Harvard and Devens by giving them the opportunity to apply for a scholarship. Candidates for the scholarship must be high school seniors, or the equivalent, and must be applying to help fund tuition to a higher or continuing education program.
Rotary Committed to Community Service
Scholarships will be awarded to the students in the amount of $2,000 and will be announced on the awards night held at their respective schools. The funds will be distributed as a reimbursement of tuition after a review of their fall transcript.
To apply each student must submit their official school transcript and an essay to Karen Strickland Sampson. Karen can be reached via email at: karenstricklandsampson@gmail.com.
The essay should be 1000 words maximum and should pertain to the topic of Community Service. Specifically, the essay should convey what the student has done already to serve the community and how they plan to continue to serve in the future. This year’s application deadline is Friday April 12, 2024.
If you have any questions regarding our scholarship process you may call Karen at 978-852-0173.
