 The Rotary Club of Anthem Launches  the 2012 Scholarship Program

             The Rotary Club of Anthem continues its tradition of offering $1000.00 scholarships to recognize outstanding achievement by senior students at Boulder Creek and Sandra Day O’Connor High Schools.  The award supports full-time enrollment at any accredited, community college, 4-year college or university, trade, vocational or proprietary school for the 2012-2013 academic year.

 
              Each year the Rotary Club of Anthem seeks scholarship applicants from the two high schools closest to Anthem.  The Scholarship Committee evaluates all applications using traditional methods including grade point averages and advanced placement and honors courses taken.  Applicants are required to submit information on their community involvement in addition to extracurricular activities.  Writing a cogent, concise essay is an integral part of the application process.

Qualifications

            Students, who exemplify the ideals of Rotary International, are encouraged to apply.  The selection criteria include academic performance, service to the community, personal merit and leadership.  To qualify for consideration for a scholarship, the student must meet all of the following requirements:

§       Be a senior at Boulder Creek High School or Sandra Day O’Connor High School.

§       Be accepted for full-time, postsecondary enrollment in the 2012 fall semester/quarter.
