Scholarships 2021
 

Rotary Boosts 55 Everett Students with $239,100 in Scholarships

 
Some 55 Everett students gained a college head start this week as the Rotary Club of Everett announced scholarships funded by club members and donors worth $239,100.
 
The total includes two new scholarships for studies in mental health, funded by Compass Health, and two new Goldfinch Brothers, Inc. scholarships in building trades and construction management.
In previous years, winning students were celebrated in ceremonies at the Everett School District Community Resource Center. This year scholarship winners were announced in a May 17 online webinar. Their individual grants range from $500 to $22,500.
 
"Our club members and partners are thrilled to help students with the cost of higher education,” said John Olson, Rotary president. “We are so impressed with what these award recipients have done in high school and are confident that they'll continue to succeed in whatever they do.”
 
Rotarians in Everett work closely with school counselors to identify scholarship prospects. Those nominees are then interviewed by Rotary members, who make the final selection. In total, the club has awarded nearly $5 million in scholarships.
 
Supporting youth is a major focus for the Rotary Club of Everett. Club members share their business experiences with students participating in the school district’s AVID (Achievement Via Individual Determination) program. The club also participates in student exchange programs by sending local students overseas and hosting students from other countries.

Seagulls Eat Local
The Everett High Interact Club has started a new project called “Seagulls Eat Local” where the Interact Club will highlight the local Everett eats. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the Interact Club will feature a new restaurant on Instagram. Their goal is to encourage students, staff, and the community to eat locally to support Everett’s small restaurants during the pandemic.
 
The Everett High Interact Club is asking the Rotary Club of Everett and others to support “Seagulls Eat Local” by eating at the local restaurants in downtown Everett.
