Lincoln South Rotary Club Recognizes Scholarship Recipients

Lincoln South Rotary Club (www.lincolnsouthrotary.org) recently awarded scholarships totaling $3,300 to Lincoln high school seniors as part of the club’s annual scholarship program. The awards are determined by the entire club membership. After a committee selects finalists, the students present a short speech during a club meeting and the members rank them to determine the amount of scholarship awarded (from $500 to $1300).
