Six scholarships to be awarded to students of Joliet high schools

 

JOLIET – The Rotary Club of Joliet is seeking applications from students in the Joliet school district for six $1,000 scholarships. These scholarships may be used for tuition only at any accredited college or university.

 

The scholarship application includes essay questions about extracurricular and volunteer activities, college and career goals. In 1989, “Service Above Self” was established as the principal motto of Rotary International because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service. The student applicants will be asked to describe how they incorporate “Service” into their everyday life and why they feel it is important to do so.

 

Students who attend Joliet Catholic Academy, Joliet Township High School, Central campus, and Joliet Township High School, West campus are eligible to apply. Any student wishing to apply for these scholarships should request an application from their school counselor beginning February 26, 2018. Children and grandchildren of Joliet Rotary Club members are not eligible.

 

The deadline for submission is Friday, March 30, 2018. Completed scholarship applications may be delivered to the regular Rotary Club meeting, 12:15 pm on Tuesdays in the Private Dining Room at the Epic Buffet at Hollywood Casino, 777 Hollywood Boulevard, Joliet, Illinois 60436 or they can be mailed to: Rotary Club of Joliet, Attention: Daniel Malinowski, Past President/Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, P. O Box 225, Joliet, Illinois 60434.

 

Scholarship recipients will be notified of their selection on April 10, 2018. Scholarship recipients will be honored at the regular luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Joliet.
