The Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg has awarded five $2,000 scholarships to students from five local high schools who participated in the Student of the Month program. At the end of the school year the club selects a student from each school based on an application which the students submit and the interactions that occur at the meetings. Students who continue their education in Pennsylvania also have an opportunity to receive a $2,000 matching grant from PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency) based on need.
Normally, the scholarships would have been presented at a Scholarship Awards Banquet, but the restrictions brought on by COVID-19 made that impossible. Instead, the scholarship awards were presented to the students at their homes over the last month. See their presentation pictures below.
