Rotary Club of Jackson Hole Foundation Scholarships: 4-yr, CTE/2-yr CC

The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole Foundation provides scholarships supporting graduating seniors in pursuit of their postsecondary education. The awards are based on student character, financial need, academic performance, community service, awards, honors, school activities, leadership, internships, work study projects, and letters of recommendation. Students with a connection to Rotary, either through a family member or a club program (e.g. Interact Club, Student of the Season, etc.), may be given special consideration. Students are asked to apply to the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole Foundation scholarship pool where the Committee will determine from the student applications the award recipients for each scholarship offering. Students will not need to apply for individual scholarships.
