Rotary Club of Peabody To Offer 3 Scholarships To Graduating Seniors

PEABODY, MA — Graduating Peabody high school seniors are encouraged to apply for one of three scholarships being offered through The Rotary Club of Peabody this academic year.

Peabody residents are eligible no matter which high school they graduate from with an application deadline of April 1.

The Club believes supporting Peabody's youth in their continuing endeavors is one of the best investments that can be made in the city’s future and funnels a significant portion of raised funds
to these scholarships.

The scholarships offered are:

1. The "Service Above Self" Scholarship, awarded to those who exemplify the Rotary Motto of "Service above Self"

2. The Career and Technical Education Scholarship, awarded to students pursuing a trade after graduation; please note, priority will be given to those attending trade programs, 2-year schools or using the funds for tools/equipment

3. The Sam Berns Scholarship, awarded to students who have overcome obstacles and otherwise exemplify the qualities Sam practiced daily.

Any students interested in applying should visit here for more information.

This program is funded by The Rotary Club of Peabody's fundraising efforts, most notably the annual Taste of the North Shore. All donations, participants and sponsors help make these scholarship opportunities possible.

Those who would like to help Rotary Peabody in their endeavors to support Peabody's youth, are encouraged to consider attending their annual Taste of the North Shore or go to here for donation information and more about what the Club does for its community.
