The E-Club of Central Texas proudly established the Erik Svenkerud Memorial Scholarship to honor Erik’s legacy by investing in the future of compassionate care. Rooted in Rotary International’s values of Service Above Self, this scholarship reflects our shared commitment to empowering those who dedicate their lives to healing others.
It is our heartfelt hope to carry this meaningful tradition forward for many years to come.

We are honored to celebrate our inaugural recipients, Sherry Rosalejos of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Juan de Dios Torres Gamas of Laredo, Texas—two exceptional nursing students whose passion for service and commitment to humanity embody the very spirit of Rotary. Each recipient has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their journey as caregivers, leaders, and changemakers, advancing health, compassion, and hope in their communities and beyond.
