Rotarian Scholarships
Rotary Club of Grinnell invests in our future leaders by funding $500 scholarships to Six Grinnell High School Seniors to put towards their undergraduate study. At the beginning of school year 2020-21, Dr. Stutz, Rotarian Scholarship Chair, met with 12 students who expressed an interest in learning more about Rotary. Throughout the year they have attended a minimum of three club meetings and have had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with various Rotarians. Each one of our members has a unique perspective shaped by their experiences, skills, interests, and culture. This is what personalizes their Rotary experience and with time crafts their personnel Rotary story in which they were able to share.
Dr. Stutz serving as their Rotarian Mentor, has met with them on a regular basis. During this time, the students were introduced to Rotary’s core values which are: Service Above Self; Developing leadership skills and using those skills to do good in the world; Fellowship brings together people who are inspired by their desire to give back and make a difference. In doing so, they form lasting friendships.
During the next three weeks, the remaining nine seniors will present their Rotary Club Story. Specifically, what have they learned about the Rotary Club of Grinnell, what service means to them, what are their plans in the future?
