Youth Services

Scholarships for local students is an ongoing goal of our Foundation as we believe strongly in education. We offer scholarships to senior high-school students residing in the Mason and Kings Local school districts.

• Several scholarships are awarded each year to students planning to attend four-or two-year institutions, including vocational schools.  If you would like to submit an application, please see your counselor for the current form or check the Naviance system.  
• In addition, we are pleased to offer a yearly scholarship to a non-traditional student studying at Sinclair College – Mason and to a student at Great Oaks Career Campus. These students must also reside within the Mason or Kings Schools Districts. Check with you advisor for application and full details.

The Rotary's Royalty program was started by our member Vickie and celebrates students in Mason and Kings High Schools who have been nominated by their teachers.  Teachers are asked to nominate students who have shown heart -  students who strive to improve themselves and help others they meet along the way.  Rotarian’s drop by the schools to present certificates to nominated students. In addition, one student per month is selected to attend our meeting with his or her  teacher and family, where they receive the Rotary Royalty’s Student of the Month award..

 Are you a high school student who has dreamed of what it would be like  to study abroad as a foreign exchange student?
