What's next?

Over the next few weeks, student applicants will be hearing from the Rotary Club that sponsors their high school.  Club members will interview students and select between 1 and 12 students to attend, depending on how many students the club has chosen to sponsor this year.

​

You will be notified by March 20 of your selection status.
