CARLSBAD HI-NOON ROTARY EXPANDS SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary (CHNR) is enlarging its scholarship opportunities this year for high school seniors residing in Carlsbad. Scholarship opportunities for students interested in college, trade or technical schools will also be addressed by the CHNR Scholarship Team, with awards presented in May 2022. ALL seniors who LIVE in Carlsbad or attend a high school in Carlsbad are eligible.

To raise the additional funds for this significant expansion, and because of Covid concerns about large events, the club is organizing a Scholarship Raffle. This raffle will kick off on Monday, February 14. Tickets are $20 each or six for $100. Tickets may be purchased from CHNR Rotarians and by mail to the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Foundation, PO Box 130175, Carlsbad, CA 92013. Those tickets will be mailed back to the purchaser. Raffle ticket purchases online are not possible pursuant to California regulations, but donations also support scholarships. CHNR Foundation ID 33-0345307.

There will be only 2,500 tickets sold. Raffle prizes include: first prize of $5,000; second prize is a week’s use of a condominium on the Pacific Beach/San Diego sand for six people; third prize is an exclusive wine basket; and prize number four will be a surprise. The raffle will conclude on March 30 and the raffle drawing will be held on April 4, 2022. Winners need not be present to win. Proceeds of the raffle will go into the Scholarship Fund of CHNR Foundation for distribution.

For the past 25 years, CHNR has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships. The February/March Scholarship Raffle will raise the funds to expand the scholarship offerings with emphasis on trade and technical schools as well. With major fundraising events cancelled or reduced, this raffle opens an option for parents, community members and businesses to support the advanced education of our Carlsbad youth in a variety of new venues. This year’s added focus on trade and technical schools is an important gateway for many young people.

Further information is available at the CHNR website: www.carlsbadhinoonrotary.org. All high school seniors who live in Carlsbad are eligible. Students who attend out-of-city schools may apply if they have a Carlsbad home address. The scholarship application and scholarship policy are presented on the club’s website. Scholarship application deadline is March 30, 2022 directed to the address on the application.

This Scholarship Raffle will advance the educational opportunities for Carlsbad’s young people. Please help CHNR help our students and their parents with your raffle ticket purchase today. -30-
