2019 Scholarship App Now Available

The Manchester-Essex Rotary Club will once again be awarding scholarships to deserving High School Seniors of Manchester-Essex residents.  Applications must be postmarked no later than March 30, 2019.

 

Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors who attend Manchester-Essex Regional High School or Essex Technical High School and/or whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s) reside in Manchester or Essex, Massachusetts. Students must be enrolling as full-time students in a four-year or two-year degree-granting program. 

 

Ideal candidates are those who embody Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self" either in their school or community demonstrating leadership, integrity and academic success.  

 

The Manchester-Essex Rotary Scholarship Committee will interview selected finalists in April and will make the final determination of scholarship awards after the interview, review of the candidates’ past academic and extra-curricular activities, demonstrated financial need, and letters of recommendation. 

Applications are available through the High School Guidance Office and online at manchesteressexrotary.org  Completed applications, SAR/FAFSA info, and two (2) letters of recommendation must be postmarked by the March 30 deadline to: Manchester-Essex Rotary Club, P.O. Box 403, Manchester, MA 01944.

The M-E Rotary Club has been fortunate to provide $10,000 annually in Scholarships for the past several years as a result of the generosity of members of the Manchester and Essex communities. The M-E Rotary Club holds three major fundraisers throughout the year to support our Scholarship Fund and mission of giving back to the community: the  Kentucky Derby Auction in early May, the Red, White and Blue Pancake Breakfast at Tuck’s Point over the July 4^th holiday, and the annual Rotary Golf Tournament in October. Thank you for your continued support and we invite you to join us at each of these fundraisers in 2019.
