The District Foundation Committee is once again inviting District 9800 clubs to participate in the Year 11-12 Scholarship Program.
Ten Year 11-12 Scholarship Grants will be made available this year for clubs to offer to local schools for the 2022-2023 school years. The grant of $1,000 will match your club’s contribution of $1,000 to provide the scholarship over the two-year period.
The District Foundation Year 11-12 Scholarship Program has been enormously effective in assisting talented and motivated students facing financial hardship to complete their secondary education. Most recipients so far have also gone on to commence tertiary education. Clubs have used this opportunity to strengthen their relationship with local schools and inspire participation in other Rotary Youth programs.
If your club would like to take this opportunity to participate, we recommend starting discussions with your candidate school now.
Applications will open on 1st October and close on Friday 12th November 2021. Preference will be given to clubs who have not previously had a scholarship grant, after which it will be first come first served.
Application forms and grant guidelines can be downloaded from the District 9800 website: https://rotarydistrict9800.org.au/sitepage/district-and-global-grants/year-11---12-scholarships
