National City is a low income community with 22% of it's residents at or below the poverty rate. Families in National City understand that higher education is the best route for their children to succeed. Our club recognize that Sweetwater high school seniors need these scholarships to help pay for college and we support the high school by providing 3 Sweetwater ROTC seniors with scholarships. The scholarship will be distributed to the winning students in May 2019 after they have been admitted to their college of choice. Members will be present to provide the checks to the students.
The National City Rotary club also supports the National City Police department in their annual school supplies giveaway to local schools in the community. We help provide much needs school supplies like backpacks, pencils, pens, notebooks, etc to kids. Members will help the police department to go each school to drop off and giveaway school supplies.
