Through the support of Flatonia families and businesses, The Rotary Club of Flatonia is able to raise around $20,000 annually with their fundraisers to provide support to the comminity’s youth, one of them being scholarships.
This year RC of Flatonia awarded six “Service Above Self” scholarships, totalling $10,000, celebrating hard work, service, leadership, and character. These scholarships represent the Flatonia community’s belief in the future and in the potential of each student receiving an award. Congratulations to all six recipients, Melany Vargas, Gisselle Crayton, Abigail Aguillon, Mason Brammall, Mariana Rosas, and Lukas Gutierrez.
This year RD 5870 announced that a student from FISD had a been selected as a recipient of a $5,000 Career & Technical Education (CTE) Scholarship plus a $250 match from the RC of Flatonia. Only 4 students were chosen from the 56 clubs in the District.
This prestigious scholarship is awarded to outstanding students pursuing career-focused education and training in fields such as skilled trades, healthcare, technology, and other professional pathways that do not require a traditional four-year degree. The program is funded through Rotary’s District Foundation Grant and supports students who demonstrate strong potential, dedication, and a commitment to their chosen career path.
Flatonia Rotary is honored to invest in the next generation of skilled professionals and community leaders through scholarships like this one, living out its motto of “Service Above Self.”
The Rotary Club of Flatonia congratulates Melany Vargas on this well-deserved achievement!
