Vocational

Vocational Scholarships: Each Spring, the Outstanding Career and Technical Education awards are presented to four Montgomery County high school seniors. This is a $750 scholarship towards the student’s college tuition. Our club awards a scholarship to help these students get a good start at regional Community Colleges.  The awards also encourage them, their peers, and their teachers to continue to put forth extra efforts to serve their community. Technical Education teachers nominate students and students can apply with a Teacher’s nomination. Our club selects the recipients based on performance, initiative and dependability in their chosen fields. Additionally, it is important that the student’s activities exemplify two of Rotary’s ideals- high ethical standards and service to others.



Group Study Exchange: Each year Rotary District 7570 sends 10 to 12 non-Rotarians abroad for a month of intensive cultural, vocational and social interaction. All expenses are paid by the Rotary Foundation, our district and the clubs in the host district.

Skelton Endowed Ambassadorial Scholarship: This scholarship represents Rotary District 7570 all over the Rotary International World. Our club worked to fund this important scholarship to reach a level of $1,000,000 to be able to send an ambassadorial scholar to study, and represent our district, anywhere in the Rotary world. We will also be making it possible for an outstanding student from another part of the world to come to our country to study for a year.
