YOUR GENEROSITY PROVIDES LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS
 
Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service. Each year, the Rotary Club of Wickenburg interviews high school seniors who apply for a Rotary scholarship. Finalists are selected based on their need, their scholastic achievements, and the quality of their essay about Rotary’s 4 Way Test. This year we had five very well qualified students who all are aspiring to do great things with their lives. Two of them are also graduates of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards camp. The goals of these students range from becoming an airplane pilot to becoming a social worker to becoming a film producer.
