The Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove is again offering one-time grants of up to $2,000 to assist prior graduates or graduating seniors from Buffalo Grove and Stevenson High Schools with college expenses.

Students who qualify must be accepted into a bachelor’s degree college program and be pursuing a 4-year degree.

“All of our fundraising activities and efforts throughout the year enable our club to provide this valuable assistance to local students who need help to cover the cost of attending college,” said Rotary Club President Ryan Risinger. “We encourage area residents to share this information with either former graduates or graduating seniors from Buffalo Grove and Stevenson High Schools so that we can provide this important assistance to those who need it.”

Interested individuals must fill out an application for a one-time grant, which is available on the Buffalo Grove Rotary Club website at bgrotary.org.

Applications require supporting documents, including two letters of reference, transcripts and an essay that details how the applicant demonstrates the Rotary motto of ‘Service Above Self’. A word document application is available online, in addition to a PDF fillable form.

Completed applications can be emailed to patricejohannes@att.net. The application deadline is Friday, June 1, 2018.
