The Rotary Club of Ignacio is offering two types of scholarships for area high school graduating seniors for this coming fall academic year. One is a $10,000 scholarship called the Wulbern Scholarship; and the other(s) are one-time Rotary Club of Ignacio scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,500. Each requires a separate written application and are due by June 1, 2020.
The club reports that the COVID-19 shutdown of physical school has thrown a curve ball to the scholarship process and the club urges students to apply quickly.
The Wulbern Scholarship is available to any graduating high school senior from a public or private high school in Marin County. The scholarship is a single, 4-year award of $10,000, paid in four installments dependent on the initial scholarship winner demonstrating ongoing proficiency in completing academic requirements of a full-time college course load. The ideal successful candidate is a 2020 graduating high school senior in good academic standing who can demonstrate while pursuing his or her high school degree:
An exceptional record of community service.
An ability to balance community service with academics, extra-curricular activities and professional goals.
Must be planning to attend a campus of the University of California system or California State University.
Must have a 3.0 or greater GPA.
May not be related to a member of the Rotary Club of Ignacio.
Candidates will be asked to complete and submit a written application by no later than June 1, 2020 and finalists will be scheduled for a personal interview. The successful Wulbern Scholarship winner and their parents or guardians will be invited to a Rotary Club of Ignacio Club meeting and be introduced to the Club.
Additional Rotary Club of Ignacio Scholarships are available to 2020 graduating high school seniors from Novato High School, Marin Oaks High School or NOVA only. The available scholarship(s) are one-time awards ranging from $500 up to $2,500.
