Two Richland One seniors have been selected to receive $20,000 scholarships from the Columbia Rotary Club. The presentation took place during the Columbia Rotary Club’s scholarship recognition day May 20 at Seawell’s in Columbia.
According to district officials, W.J. Keenan High School senior Aarav Patel and Eau Claire High School senior James Sumter will receive $2,500 each semester for four years. The seniors will be attending the University of South Carolina in the fall. Aarav will be studying neuroscience, and James will major in computer engineering and minor in music.

A total of fourteen local high school students applied for the scholarship. Officials said applicants had to write an essay about why they wanted the scholarship, send two letters of recommendation, and take part in an in-person interview.
During the interview, students were asked to name a teacher or counselor they believed made a difference in their lives. Aarav selected W.J. Keenan AP Calculus teacher Charu Bakshi. James selected Eau Claire AP U.S. History teacher Teresa Anderson. Both teachers received plaques from the Rotary Club for its “Teachers Who Made a Difference” award and were recognized during the organization’s scholarship recognition day.
