Rochester Rotary Scholarships

 

The Community Scholarship Program

If you're thinking about college...here's an opportunity for you!

The Community Foundation of Greater Rochester, Rochester Community Schools Foundation, Rochester Rotary Club, and Rochester Kiwanis Club have joined forces to make the search for college funds easier than ever. 

With one common application you can apply for all of the scholarships offered by the above-mentioned organizations.  Each is based on specific criteria developed by the donors which may include academic promise; extra-curricular activities; community service; musical, artistic, and/or dramatic talent; tenacity; work ethic; or leadership.  Some awards may also consider financial need.

Each interested student is asked to complete an application, including general information and an essay.  Applicants must also include two Applicant Appraisal Forms and a high school transcript.  Forms are available online at www.cfound.net/grants_scholarships.php
