The recipients each spoke briefly about their college choices and possible career plans, as well as sharing their high school service activities. Each recipient will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
Rotarian Steve Healy coordinates the scholarship awards annually.
"We award these scholarships annually based on their scholastic achievement and community services following Rotary's mission of Service above Self," Healy said. "It is important to know that each of these recipients are already serving their churches, schools, and communities. We also take consideration of those students helping parents with special family circumstances and needs."

Bill Bowen and Michelle Davis served with Healy in selecting the recipients. This year, 25 students applied, and 18 were selected.

"We wish you much luck and success in your future. Parents, we congratulate you on all you have poured into these remarkable children. This is one of our favorite programs of the year."
