2021 Madison Rotary Scholarship Program
The Rotary’s motto is “Service Above Self”. The Rotary Club of Madison will provide five $1,000 scholarship awards to graduating seniors who exemplify this motto through their volunteer service activities and actions. Examples would include but are not limited to participation in a service club like Interact or Key Club, participating in organized mission trips, volunteering to help others, volunteering at a community organization like the YMCA or food bank, scouting, shoveling sidewalks for seniors, raising money to benefit others, etc.
Who is Eligible to Apply?
Graduating seniors who live in Madison and attend an accredited high school are eligible to apply. They do not have to attend Madison High School. Financial need is not a consideration.
Three scholarships are based on citizenship and “Service above Self” for students attending college. One Scholarship is based on citizenship and “Service above Self” for a student planning to attend business, vocational or technical school. Scholarships may be redirected to others if there are not applicants from both categories.
How to Apply?
Students apply by completing the application found online at madisonrotary.org and answering the questions regarding their volunteer and community service activities in and out of school. Be as thorough and complete as possible describing the activities and/or services you provided. If you served in a leadership capacity, please be sure to include that information.
