Summary: Scholarships for Continuing Education for Sedona Red Rock High School graduates
Funds support $1,000 continuing education scholarships (vocational or college) for seven (7) Sedona Red Rock High School graduates. The students submit applications which are reviewed by the Scholarship Review Committee of the Rotary Club of Sedona. Guidelines for applicant awards include participation in Community Service, Financial Need, Academic Standing, Extracurricular Participation in School, Quality of Essay and Interview. The Committee interviews the applicants and decides on the awardees. Preference is given to first generation college attendees. Funds are paid directly to the school where they are accepted and will attend.
Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)
3 or 4 Scholarships for the second Semester of graduate education will be awarded in December or January of 2025. The Scholarships will be given to 3-4 students who received scholarships from the Rotary Club of Sedona for their first semester that started in August - Dec 2024. They will be given to those students most in need who remain in school and maintain a satisfactory grade point average.

Congratulations! This project has been approved for full funding. We are not certain when the money will hit your account, but our best guess is a month or so. The district has approved the project now Rotary International will review and approve. We’ll send you an update when we have one. Please also remember that you may not spend money prior to TRF approval and reimburse yourself from grant funds. If there have been changes in your bank account (information for electronic transfer), please get that to Lucinda General (District Treasurer) as soon as possible. treasurer@rotary5495.org. Your report is due April 30, 2025, and receipts are required to complete the report (not invoices, cancelled checks, UPS shipping labels, or any other documents). Thank you for creating hope in the world.

The district grant process is progressing but is delayed somewhat due to the second round of grant submissions. We will notify you as soon as the grant funds are available. Reminder: No money should be spent until the funds are sent to the clubs. No receipts for spending prior to that can be accepted.

After some delay from RI our block grant was approved on Friday August 30, 2024. The funds should be transferred sometime next week. We will be changing the status on your grant to “Approved” as of that date. As has been stated several times RI will not recognize receipts dated prior to August 30, 2024. Also, PO’s and cancelled checks are not acceptable forms of documentation. Please be sure all banking information is up to date.
