ROTARY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THREE SCHOLARSHIPS

The Rotary Club of Kona Community Foundation is accepting scholarship applications from West Hawaii public and private high school seniors for three scholarships.
The $4,000 Jim and Sis Bedingfield Scholarship is paid out in four annual installments and the $8,000 Ken and Marge Clewett Scholarship is paid out in four annual installments. Eligible students for either scholarship are generally those who would have difficulty continuing their education without some type of financial assistance. Candidates are evaluated on five areas: scholastic and academic achievement; leadership, personal involvement on campus; community service and activities; extracurricular activities, employment experience; and financial need.
The $1,000 Ron and Kathy Hawkes Vocational Scholarship is paid out in two annual installments. Students planning to attend a vocational/trade school are invited to apply for the scholarship.
Applications for any of the above scholarships are available from any school guidance counselor or by contacting Peggy Peckham at 326-1101. The deadline for submitting applications is March 31, 2014.
