SCHOLARSHIPS

Clover High School Scholarship

Clover Rotary seeks to recognize a Senior at Clover High School who has demonstrated a heart for “Service Above Self.”  One $2,000 scholarship is given each year.  The Scholarship is awarded to a student who has exemplified exceptional commitment to community service through volunteering and dedication to their chosen service organization or purpose. Funds for the scholarship are raised from a number of Clover Rotary fundraisers held throughout the year.


Applications are available at the Clover High School Counseling Center starting in January and must be submitted to that office by the deadline (typically mid-March).  The Clover Rotary Club does not distribute or collect applications.

Criteria
