District 5870 is offering four (4) District Vocational Scholarship for Rotary Year 2018-19. Each scholarship will provide $5,000 for successful candidates who:
1. Live in one of the 23 counties that comprise District 5870;
2. Are planning to study at a community college or technical school located in one of these 23 counties; and
3. Plan to remain here to work after completion of their studies.
For the purpose of these scholarships, vocational education and training is defined as education that prepares students for jobs, careers at various levels from a trade to a craft, or a position in engineering, accounting, nursing, medicine and other healing arts, architecture, pharmacy, and law that do not require a 4 year college degree to perform. Please see Section 2 of the District Vocational Scholarship Handbook for the areas of study that are acceptable for study under a District Vocational Scholarship.
Please note:
- These scholarships are not intended for students wanting to attend a community college or technical school with the intent of later transferring credits earned to a 4 year, upper level degree.
- Sponsoring clubs will be expected to contribute at least another $250 towards the student’s expenses.
Two very important documents are posted on the district website, or are available at the link below:
