The Rotary Club of Branford is excited to announce that once again 3 scholarships of $3,000 each, will be awarded to students who reside in Branford.

The awards are to high school seniors, whether they attend Branford High School or another secondary school. Last year, to the graduating classes of 2022, the three recipients were Meghan Heier Joshua Berdon and and Mark Hally.

To be eligible, students must enroll in a 2- or 4-year college or technical school for the fall of 2023. Their applications should show good evidence of academic achievement and an essay describing service-minded values, covered in the written portion. Finalists are interviewed by a small committee at the Blackstone Library. Financial need is not a requirement, but a statement of need is welcome.

Students can download the application and apply for the Rotary "Service Above Self" Scholarship Program at scholarships at branfordrotary.org

Applications for scholarships are also available at the school’s guidance office. Completed applications should be emailed to scholarships@branfordrotary.org or postmarked by June 6, 2023 and mailed to Branford Rotary Club, P.O. Box 593 Branford, CT 06405.
