Anchorage Midtown Rotary Club has been awarding one or two $500.00 scholarships to graduates each year from SAVE (Specialized Academic and Vocational Education) High School in Anchorage. For more than 25 years, this school has provided a proven alternative program for students who have difficulties in a large high-school setting. All students there combine academic work with a minimum of four hours of paid employment at certified businesses.
Anchorage Midtown Rotary Club wants to expand the number to four scholarship awards in 2014. The club believes these awards recognize and affirm worthy youth-at-risk by providing funds to help alleviate some of the financial pressures of advanced education or training. Recipients are nominated by SAVE teachers and staff based on their academic and vocational accomplishments. A representative of Anchorage Midtown Rotary will personally award the scholarship certificate and check at the graduation ceremonies in May 2014. They will be personally invited to attend a club meeting to share their accomplishments and goals with the entire membership.
The Club Treasurer signs all checks for disbursement of grant funds. A separate club member who is in charge of the grant, must sign / approve the voucher authorizing disbursement of funds from the grant. The grant reporting will be done by another Club member who neither authorized disbursement or signed checks disbursing grant funds. A separate ledger will be kept for the District Grant.
