The Lake Wylie Rotary Club Foundation annually awards “Spirit of Service” Scholarships to recognize high school seniors living in the Clover School District who has demonstrated a heart for community service. To date, the Foundation has awarded $32,500 to help fund the higher education efforts of some of the most service-minded youth in our community.
For 2020, the top award is cur $2,000. The “Spirit of Service” scholarship will be awarded to a student who has exemplified exceptional commitment to community service through hours of volunteering and dedication to his or her chosen service organization/purpose. The student must reside within the Clover School District; however, he or she are not required to attend Clover High School.
Students can download the application form and instructions here. All applications must be received by March 15, 2020.
Once all nominations are received, the top applicants will be invited to present a short (5-7 minute) information session at the annual Celebration of Service event on April 21, 2020 about their volunteer work and why they chose to commit their time and talents to these efforts. A selection committee will then make their choice from these finalists.
