For more than 30 years, the Rotary Club of Montecito has provided scholarships for career/technical students. Recipients are nominated by SBCC staff and celebrated at this annual luncheon in their honor. This event is one of the highlights of our Rotary year and should not be missed.
This Tuesday, our club proudly continues one of its most meaningful traditions—honoring exceptional students from Santa Barbara City College who are pursuing vocational and technical careers that directly strengthen our local workforce and community.
What makes this year especially impactful is the way our members have stepped up. Through increased participation and generosity, we’ve expanded our support for these well-deserving students—reinforcing what Rotary Club of Montecito stands for at its core: service, opportunity, and community building.
For over three decades, our club has played a meaningful role in supporting SBCC students, leaving a lasting imprint on the growth and progress of our local college and the future leaders it shapes.
We invite all members and guests to join us for this special evening as we celebrate achievement, invest in potential, and continue building a stronger community together.
