About the Scholarships

The largest ongoing service project undertaken by Monroe-Union Breakfast Rotary awards scholarships to local, college-bound high school seniors. Since 1984, the club has given over 340 students a scholarship totaling more than $265,000.

​​

Recent history:

2022, we awarded a total of $ 16,000.

2021, we awarded a total of $ 12,500 

2020, we awarded a total of $ 5,000 (despite a pandemic interruption of fundraising activities!)

​2019, we awarded a total of $12,000 

​

These unique scholarships recognize students for their service to the community or environment; and do not consider academics, economics, or sports prowess, making them unique. Union County high school seniors, prepare a personal essay about their service to qualify. Club members select one student from each high school in Union County for a scholarship. Chosen students make an oral presentation to our club members. The club's scholarship committee decides the amount of each scholarship. Students receive recognition for their service and scholarships at a banquet with their families and school counselors.

Your sponsorship can expand our reach if you believe service-based scholarships help develop tomorrow's community leaders. Together, we can help deserving students achieve their academic and career goals and encourage them to continue community service as future leaders.
