Rotary Club of Doylestown Presents Scholarships to Three Central Bucks Graduating High School Seniors

The Rotary Club of Doylestown presented three high school seniors from Central Bucks School District with the first $1000 installment of a renewable scholarship on May 28, 2015. The Rotary Club of Doylestown’s goal is to not only find these exemplary individuals in our community, but to encourage them to make a further commitment to serving others.

The scholarship recipients exemplify the Rotary’s Four Way Test principles and actively demonstrate their dedication to the service of others. The Four Way test asks four questions of the things we think, say or do - Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

The scholarship recipients were chosen based on the following criteria: academic performance, involvement in school activities, involvement in community services, potential for contributions to society through college education, and knowledge of the role of service organizations, especially Rotary International, in local and world communities.

The students who received scholarships are Adrianna Vernace, Central Bucks High School East; James Kellerher, Central Bucks High School West; and Margaret Mary Walsh, Central Bucks High School South. The scholarships are intended to help the students finance their continued education and are renewable for three additional years to students who maintain their academic standing while actively participating in community service activities.
