Scholarships Program

The Rotary Club of Salt Lake City is pleased to announce our revised scholarship program to students in the Salt Lake School District High Schools who are applying to a college or university, a trade School or certification program in Utah.
 
Following review of our past scholarship program the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City has refined our application process to awarding students only applying to institutions in Utah. All details can be found on the online application form. The new scholarship is a four-year award of $3,000 per year for a total of $12,000 over the four years.  Contingent on a 3.0 GPA per semester and involvement in Rotary Club/Rotaract Service projects.  The criteria are fully outlined in the online application form.
 
Dean Collette Scholarship - Through a generous gift from former faculty Dean Collette, Highland High Students are invited to apply for one of two $8,000 scholarships.  Please use the online application. The applications will be reviewed with the same criteria of the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City Scholarship. The Dean Collett Scholarship for Highland High Students is a one-time $8,000 award.
