We ask the administrations of the Saddleback Unified and Capistrano Valley Unified School Districts and of Saddleback College to identify deserving students for the following $1,000 scholarships:
2 for Mission Viejo High School; 2 for Trabuco High School; 2 for Capistrano Valley High School; 2 for Silverado High School; 2 for Laguna Hills High School; 1 for Saddleback College
All Scholarship will be awarded by June 15, 2015. Rotarians will present the awards at ceremonies at each of the schools. The students and their parents will be invited to attend a club meeting to explain their plans.
Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)
The funds will be dispersed by the Mission Viejo Rotary Foundation, a 501(c)(3) foundation, whose tax-exempt status is pending with the IRS. Should any problem arise with the tax-exempt application, we will disperse the funds through the 501(c)(3) foundation of Rotary District 5320. Each year the club Scholarship chair meets with each High School counselor to discuss the scholarship requirements and a timeline for the schools Awards Assembly. A Rotarian from the club presents the award at this assembly. This presentation allows our club to be visible to the High School while giving acknowledgement to the student. The student and his parents are also invited to our next club meeting to receive the grant.
