High school seniors: If you need help funding your continuing education, the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs offers scholarships that could help make your educational dreams a reality. Each year, Rotary awards scholarships to deserving students, with funding to all winners typically exceeding $20,000 annually.
These scholarships are not limited to Pagosa Springs High School students. They are available to seniors from GOAL Academy, San Juan Mountain School, homeschooled students, and those who have earned or plan to earn their GED by spring.
Scholarship recipients are selected based on a range of criteria, including financial need, academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, personal interviews, letters of recommendation, a personal essay and the quality of their resume.
Whether you’re heading to a four-year college, a university or a vocational school, there’s a scholarship opportunity for you. Separate applications are available for students pursuing traditional college paths and those focusing on vocational education.
Applications have been distributed to Pagosa Springs High School, San Juan Mountain School, and GOAL Academy. For students not attending these schools, applications can be emailed upon request, via email to megwempe@hotmail.com. Completed applications can be submitted to your school or emailed to the same address with the subject line “Rotary Scholarship” to ensure proper handling.
The submission deadline is 4pm on March 17, so start now on your application.
We’re eager to review your applications and help support your educational journey. Don’t miss this opportunity; apply today.
