Fifteen scholarships totaling approximately $80,000 were awarded by the Rotary Club to students competing from Arcadia, Chaparral, Saguaro, Desert Mountain and Coronado. Each school was permitted to nominate two students in each of the 8 scholarship categories. Following submission of an application and nomination by their school, the students had to engage in personal interviews with scholarship committee panelists. Susan Metzler, Arcadia’s College and Career Coordinator, was in charge of the scholarship selection process for Arcadia.


The student winners were honored at the Rotary Club’s Youth Day Luncheon on April 30 at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club. The Arcadia students thank the Rotary Club for its generous sponsorship of these scholarships.
