School’s out for the summer! San Luis Obispo Rotarians presented 14 well deserving local students with scholarships to support their future academic endeavors. In total, $39,500 was awarded to local students. The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo Challenge Scholarship Program provides scholarships to high-achieving students who have faced significant personal challenges during their school career. Its goal is to help scholarship recipients focus less on financial challenges and more on advancing their learning.

Individual scholarship amounts varied from $1,000 to $20,000 (awarded in annual distributions of $5,000 over 4-years). Award recipients were graduates from San Luis Obispo High School, Pacific Beach High School & SLO County Independent Living Program.
The Scholarship Fund is made possible by two major fundraisers: The Rotary Homes of Distinction Tour (September) and the Rotary Spaghetti Western (March). SLO Rotarians would like to thank the efforts of their club members and generosity of the community!
Congratulations to the May 2019 Scholarship Recipients!
