Camden County 2021-22

Rotary Service Scholarship

 

The club solicited scholarship applications and awarded on the basis of community service activities. High School senior, Hampton Herron, received a $1000 scholarship for college. The scholarship should encourage and uplift the young person by easing his financial burden and the benefits of the college studies may improve his future employment opportunities. By awarding this scholarship, it’s hoped that the young person’s approach to life will be positively impacted. We hope they will continue to put emphasis on community service throughout their life. Also, after being helped by this scholarship, the young person may go on to become more philanthropic, perhaps even found another scholarship or support Rotary with charitable donations.

Rotarians created and distributed scholarship applications, thereby promoting local Rotary. Rotarians graded scholarship applications and selected the winner. Rotarians hosted and participated in a “Scholarship Night” event where the check was awarded.
