Vocational Scholarships
Founded as a business networking organization, Rotary encourages and fosters high ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
In District 6440, Rotarians pursue this commitment by guiding and training others to find gainful, fulfilling employment. We work with young people in the community to help prepare them for their future through mentoring programs, job fairs, and especially through our vocational scholarship program.
