SCHOLARSHIPS Port Orchard Rotary has several kinds of scholarship opportunities. We're proud of our contribution to advanced education. They are awarded during awards night ceremonies at the school. Then we invite recipients to breakfast at the club, along with their families, so that we can hear from them about their plans for the future.

"...here in South Kitsap, unless you knew personally one of Rotary’s many scholarship recipients, you may not have known that significant scholarship monies are awarded to SKHS students for excellence of achievement. As you can see, the reach of Rotary touches lives at the individual, community and international level." - Brian Hughes

"One of the most important rotary endeavors is our college scholarship program. It puts us in touch with many South Kitsap families and the gift of scholarships based on need is especially rewarding. It is a treat to see smiling faces on the recipients and learn about their hopes and aspirations. " - Dick Peterson

Academic Scholarships are based on a careful consideration of GPA, need, and demonstrated effort on behalf of the student. Check back here for scholarship applications.

Congratulations 2004 recipients! "On Tuesday, June 1, 2004 the Port Orchard Rotary Club honored six graduatingseniors from South Kitsap High School with a scholarship award of $1,500each. The individuals were selected based on academic achievement, participation in extracurricular and community activities and financial need. The 2004 recipients are from left to right: Linda Pisa, Steven Millard, Toni Colman and Colin Hartke. Not pictured are Amy McDonald and Adam Bennett." - Gary Lucy

Vocational Scholarships are especially for those students who seek further education to develop vocational skills. Often students who have been involved in The Rotary House projects apply and are granted this scholarship. Check back here for applications.
