At our June 2nd meeting, the Wachusett Area Rotary Club awarded $2,000 scholarships to three students living in our service area. The scholarships were awarded to students who demonstrated a commitment to community service, as well as academic achievement and financial need.Pictured here are the 2023 scholarship recipients, Amaya Santimore, Joseph Collard, and Ella Bradshaw along with the Scholarship Committee Jessica Favreau, Betty-Jean Lane (Project Chair), Marisol Dittami and Matt Smith.
As part of the application process, student were asked to submit an essay outlining how a community service project that they were involved in aligns with the motto of Rotary International. The committee was very impressed by the many applications we received and the outstanding commitment to the community reflected in the essays.
