District 5870 will be sponsoring seven District CTE Scholarships for the 2024-25 Rotary Year. Scholarships will support CTE students who live in one of the 23 counties that comprise District 5870 and are planning to study credit or non-credit career technical education and training programs, not requiring a 4-year degree, at a community college or technical school located in one of these 23 counties or an adjacent county.
Each District CTE Scholarship will be $5,000, funded with District Designated Funds (DDF) received from TRF and sponsoring clubs will be expected to contribute at least another $250 towards the student’s expenses. Scholarship applications for one student per club will only be accepted from clubs who are fully qualified to receive Foundation Funds.
This is an excellent time for your club to review the CTES Handbook, appoint a scholarship sponsor, identify potential candidates and interview them. A sample application to assist you with this process is available online. Qualifying clubs should submit the actual online application no later than April 1, 2024. Scholarship interviews are held virtually on April 27, 2024 and applicants must be able to participate.
