Rotary Club accepting scholarship applications
The Rotary Club of Waynesburg is now accepting applications for two scholarships.
Each year, the Rotary club awards two $1,000 scholarships to worthy high school students. The awards are selected based on academic performance, community service involvement, letters of recommendation and the student’s response the essay question, “What does the Rotary motto, ‘Service Above Self,’ mean to you?”
“Annually, the club selects two $1,000 recipients from the applications received,” said Melody Longstreth, the club’s scholarship chair. “The committee is always very impressed by the quality of our applicants and enjoy learning about the many talented and generous students we have here in Greene County.”
The scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors who reside in Greene County. Applicants must provide a brief essay, 400 words or less, on what the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self” means to them.
A list of community service experiences, including dates and a brief description of each, must also be submitted, along with a list of school organizations to which the applicant belongs to, any offices held and any work experience if applicable.
In addition, applicants are asked to submit two letters of recommendation from a teacher, school administrator, employer, pastor or other adult who has knowledge of the student’s qualifications.
