Scholarship Committee
Interviews Delta High School Seniors for Education Scholarships

For many years in late Spring, Walnut Grove Rotary’s Scholarship Committee, gathered at Delta High School to interview senior students for college or trade school scholarships. Prior to the interviews seniors must submit an application and write an essay describing their scholastic achievement, financial need, character, personal desire to better themselves, and any other information they feel makes them a worthy candidate to receive a WG Rotary scholarship. Over the years Walnut Grove Rotary has awarded a great many scholarships to public or private colleges/universities, community colleges, and trade schools, totaling many thousands of dollars.  Some of these achieving students are the first in their families to attend college or trade schools.

Together, Kim Tranum, Thom Wiseman, and Laura Uslan spent nearly a full day at the high school conducting the interviews.

Proudly, all Memorial Scholarships have been funded in memory of a beloved family member, friends or business associate, and most graduated from Delta High School in years passed.  These ten plus seven additional scholarships were awarded for a total of 17.

It is made possible because of the amazing work our club does at the Annual Rotary Club of Walnut Grove Scholarship and Community Fundraiser Auction and Dinner each February.  Combined with the other events sponsored throughout the year, this moment is successful because of your Service Above Self.  Thank you!  You Made a Change!
