Who Can Apply?
ARF members are in contact with local Eugene high school counselors to encourage high school seniors to apply for our $2000 stipend for their first year in higher education. Students submit an application and an essay that is reviewed by a committee of Rotarians. Decisions are based upon the student's financial need, service to the community, career goals and academic achievements.
​
Recipients must attend a college, university, or trade school within the state of Oregon. Recipients can reapply for an additional $1000 stipend up to three times if they remain in school and are on track to graduate or finish their program.
​
The Airport Rotary Foundation presents the scholarships to the high schools students as well as the returning college students at a breakfast meeting in late spring when we honor the students, their parents, and their advisors and/or counselors. When a student is awarded all four years of eligibility, they receive a total of $5000 over four years.
