A Scholarship
application is available each year from Feb 1 to March 1. The local
school Guidance Departments also get notification that a Scholarship for
their students is available. An SSI Rotary Scholarship Awards Committee
is formed each year by the Scholarship Chair to review the received
applications and make Scholarship Awards based on the merits of the
applications and the funds available.
The
scholarship awards vary in number each year. The club
currently awards scholarships of $4000 per year for 4 years of
undergraduate study ($2000 for each of the fall and spring semesters).
The College or University may be
located in or outside the state of Georgia, and must be fully
accredited. Recipients are selected on the basis of scholarship,
leadership, community service and other demonstration of personal
character, as well as financial need.
