University Hills Rotary Club has achieved the rare designation of "100 percent Paul Harris Fellow Club" not once but twice in the past 9 years. And through the E Brent Hobson Scholarship Fund, we have awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to graduates of Colorado high schools pursuing STEM degrees at Colorado colleges or universities in roughly that same time period.
DID YOU KNOW?
100% Paul Harris Fellow Club
University Hills (Denver) Rotary Club obtained the designation of “100 percent Paul Harris Fellow Club” (again) on December 21, 2017. University Hills (Denver) was a Rotary club in which all dues-paying members were Paul Harris Fellows. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is given in appreciation to anyone who contributes, outright or cumulatively-or in whose name is contributed-a gift of $1,000 or more to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
The recognition has only been afforded to 6.6% of the 34,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide; to only two other clubs of the 67 clubs in our District 5450 .
University Hills, since it was chartered on Oct 6, 1971 has created 359 Paul Harris Fellows, with an All-Time giving of $927,431.00.
E. Brent Hobson Fellowship
The University Hills Charitable Endowment (E. Brent Hobson Fellowship) has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to twenty different recipients, who have or are now attending: CU-Boulder, CSU, Metro State, Regis, Northern Colorado or the School of Mines.
We currently award eight scholarships in the total amount of $38,000 per school year. We offer a four-year scholarship; current funding begins with $4000 in year one and increases to $4500, $5000 and $5500 in subsequent years. A scholarship is valued at $19,000, if completely earned out.
Since the inception of the fund in May, 1996, Rotarians have collected or contributed over $500,000 to the Fund.
