Including this year, the Wooster Rotary Club has made 200 scholarship awards for nearly $360,000.
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the traditional senior awards assembly was replaced with a hybrid assembly on Thursday, June 3, 2021. Students being presented with awards were invited to attend in-person and scholarship groups who wanted to make their presentations were done electronically.
Club President Justin Starlin welcomed our finalists with a video about Wooster Rotary’s continuing support of educational opportunities.
