Rotary Club of San Clemente Sunrise will provide up to eight (8) scholarships each in the amount of $500 to deserving high school seniors at San Clemente High School for the year ending June 2013. We have a supporting relationship with the guidance counselor at the high school who knows about our club and has assisted us with the application process for two decades. As such, applications forms will be distributed to graduating seniors in general. Then, a panel of SCSRC members will screen the applications and select the recipients based on several factors: (1) economic need/family dynamics; (2) minimum GPA of 3.0; and (3) demonstrated volunteer activity in terms of community service.
Upon selection of the scholarship recipients in mid-May, the school will be notified of the winners for their Award Night program. Members create certificates and the club treasurer provides the checks. Two members of our SCSRC will attend SCHS Senior Award's Night on May 30, 2013 and present the scholarships.
The timeline for the grant is from September 2012 to May 30, 2013. The HS Scholarship project has been a favorite honored Community Service (now New Gen) project that members look forward to every year. The community of San Clemente is extremely generous to our graduating seniors. Also, being present at Awards Night is a wonderful opportunity for SCSRC to have visibility in the San Clemente community.
Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)
The scholarship project was disallowed by The Rotary Foundation as scholarships for post-secondary education are not allowed.
The project has been replaced with 3 projects completed within the year and the Final reports for these projects are attached.
