Scholarships
The Piedmont Rotary Club
dedicates more funds to student scholarships each year that any other
cause.
Qualified candidates from
Clearwater High School usually rank in the top 10% of their class based
on GPA and must not be related to a Rotarian.
A selection committee made up of
Rotarians and school counselors narrow the list to five based on a
variety of factors including financial need, student access to other
scholarship funds, etc.
The five finalists are invited to
appear before the Rotary Club and talk in some detail about their career
plans and goals. Members may ask questions to gain clarification or
greater insight. Because of time constraints students are asked to limit
their comments to five minutes.
Rotary members cast ballots for
their nominee of choice and the candidate with the most votes is
awarded the one year scholarship. Often the competition is very close
and, if sufficient funds are available, scholarships may be awarded to
the top two or even three candidates.
Photographs of scholarship winners
may be requested and news releases submitted to the local media.
