Princeton Rotary Club recently awarded Swan-Eickmeier scholarships to Princeton High School graduates.
The scholarships are named for Roger Swan and Roger Eickmeier, long-time members of the local Rotary club and leaders in the community. Applicants must be graduating seniors of Princeton School District zoned schools.
The recipients of the four-year scholarships in the amount of $2,000 were Morgan Foes, Jacob Knickerbocker, Caitlin Meyer, Kelsea Mongan and Morgan Richards. This year, two additional scholarships of $1,000 were added, and these were awarded to Savannah Hollars and Sophia Oester.
New this year was the Swan-Eickmeier community college scholarship to be awarded to a graduating student enrolling in a community or private two-year college pursuing an associate’s degree. Katie Kammerer was the recipient of this $2,000 award.
Charlie Hartz was the recipient of the $1,000 Swan-Eickmeier Vocational scholarship intended for a student attending a vocational or trade school.
Funds for the scholarships are raised through various events throughout the year. The number of recipients varies accordingly. Since 2001, Princeton Rotary Club has awarded about $95,500.
