Congratulations to This Year's Scholarship Recipients!
Congratulations to the entire 2025 Salida High School graduating class! This year, Salida Sunrise Rotary Club was proud to be one of the many generous community organizations who attended the Salida High School Scholarship Awards Night.
Our organization received the most applications in the history of our scholarship program, and we were blown away by the impressive credentials of each of the applicants. We select scholarship recipients based on work experience in the community, family or personal hardship, academics, class rank, and extracurricular activities.
This year, we were pleased to award a total of $28,000 to 11 graduating seniors and 5 former SHS students continuing their college educations. We would like to recognize this year’s scholarship recipients. High school seniors: Luke Clanton, Delia Dimino, Hudson Fisher, Brody Hudson, Kyndra Johnson, Cedar "CeCe" Lengerich, Macy Matthews, Emerson Reed, Axel Sather, Raeann Shively, and Ezekiel Wilcox. College students: Cooper Hodge, Radana Jo Myers, Megan Rhude, Maya Vallevona, and Ethan NeJame Zeiset.
Salida Sunrise Rotary raises funds for scholarships in part through the Chaffee Home & Garden Show, Holiday Park and the annual Community Celebration & Lucky Ducky Race. We were pleased to welcome last year’s race-winning Platinum sponsors to help present their scholarships at Awards Night: The Mountain Mail, Blue Federal Credit Union, and Peak to Peak Pickleball Club. We are continually grateful for the community support we receive through Lucky Ducky sponsorships from businesses and individuals each year. Through their generosity, our community collectively helps send deserving SSR scholarship recipients off to college on better financial footing.
The Salida Sunrise Rotary Club would like to invite you to consider sponsoring a duck at this year’s Lucky Ducky Race, which will be held in Riverside Park on Sunday, August 24 th , 2025.
