Rotary District 7910 is pleased to announce the awarding of the David and Eleanor Morley Endowed Global Grant Scholarship to two recipients, both residents of the District. This unique Scholarship established in 2002 honors David and Eleanor Morley. David Morley was a dedicated Rotarian, graduate of Worcester Polytech Institute, and worked all his life for General Electric. David and Eleanor believed in the good works of Rotary and so established this Scholarship in their name to be awarded by D7910 and managed by The Rotary Foundation Permanent Fund. From 2007 to 2010 four recipients received the Scholarship, all WPI graduates. This is the first time in eight years the Scholarship has been awarded, with careful administration by the Scholarship Subcommittee of the District Foundation Committee. Each Scholarship is for $ 35,000. The recipients this year are:
