Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Total Budget: $4,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Scholarships

Summary: Washington High School - Providing scholarships to graduating seniors to supplement college or trade school tuition.


Washington High School located in Phoenix, Arizona and serves over 1700 students. Of those students 70% are on the free lunch program, and their families' income falls below the poverty line. Washington HS demographics are as follows: 55% Hispanic, 25% Caucasian, 11% African American, 6% Asian, and 4% other. Washington HS is a qualified Title 1 school (lower income).

Washington HS has been an integral part of community service in our local community. This school is home to one of the largest Interact Clubs in the United States, with over 260 student members, completing over 100 community service projects per year.

The Rotary Club of Sun City, in partnership with the Washington High School Interact Club, is offering college tuition scholarships for graduating seniors for the 2015-2016 Academic year. Seniors at Washington HS will be requested to submit an essay with a Rotary Theme. Their essay will include either; their experiences with Interact, RYLA, or how they have used the Rotary Four-Way Test in their lives thus far. The members of the Rotary Club of Sun City will read each essay, and select 6 students to be recipients of a scholarship valued between $500-$1,000 per student. The scholarships will be paid directly to the University, Community College, or Vocational/Tech school of their choice for the fall semester. This district grant will allow us to help all students regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or race.

We appreciate your consideration in helping these students achieve their academic goals and dreams. The Sun City Rotary club is a proud supporter of The Annual Fund and The Rotary Foundation.

Projected Budget:

6 students total - $4,000 total budget.

4 students will receive $500.00 each.

2 students will receive $1000.00 each.
