$55,000 in Scholarships Awarded
Our annual fund raiser for the last 31 years has been the Great Stilly Duck Dash held on the 4th of July. Because of the growth in sponsorships, the Rotary Club has committed to giving half of the sponsorship proceeds each year in scholarships for graduating seniors from Arlington, Weston and Darrington High Schools. Based on last year’s Duck Dash this year we gave out $55,000 in scholarships. On May 29th in Darrington, 3 graduates received a total of $25,000 in scholarships and in Arlington we gave out $30,000 total to 4 individuals. The selection committee, composed of a majority of non-Rotarians, judged applicants, looking at the following factors:
- Service to their community
- Dedication to their academics
- Obstacles they have overcome
- What does their personal statement say or tell us about them.
- What goals do they have
- What is their financial need
