Overview
Mission
The saint paul rotary foundation seeks to accumulate funds through charitable contributions for the financial support of the charitable, educational and community activities and grants such funds for local and international activities conducted by the saint paul rotary club.
What it reported doing in 2024
The second century scholarship fund was created in 2010 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of formation of the tenth rotary club in the world in st. Paul, mn. Club members and friends provided funds to create a $500,000 fund to change the life of one st. Paul high school student every year with a $20,000, four year college scholarship. Students are recommended by their respective high school and must apply through scholarship america, the leading scholarship management firm in the united states. Scholarship america evaluates all applicants and selects the winner based on established criteria. Applicants must: be a current senior at a st. Paul high school, have participated in camp ryla (rotary youth leadership awards), plan to enroll full-time in an accredited postsecondary college or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming acedemic year, and have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent). Scholarships totaling $20,000 were provided to 4 students during the year. The total outlay for 2024-25 was 15,000 as there was a $5,000 credit from a past student.
