Aberdeen Rotary Club Offers Scholarship for Blind, Deaf, and Deaf-Blind Youth

Rosenkrantz Scholarship Fund application deadline approaches

The Alex and Suzanne Rosenkrantz Scholarship Fund was established with the proceeds of a bequest to assist youth who are blind, deaf and deaf-blind in becoming self-sufficient through higher education, vocational training, or other appropriate schooling.

Although the bequest prioritizes higher education, scholarships will not be limited to higher education. Vocational training, education in Braille, and computer-based education for the blind, deaf, and deaf-blind will also be funded.

The fund is administered by the Aberdeen Rotary Club. The number and amount of the awards are subject to change from year to year. Priority is given to Grays Harbor residents; then residents of Pacific, Thurston, and Mason Counties; then residents of other counties in Washington State. Organizations may apply for grants that support the goals of the Fund.

Application forms for scholarships may be downloaded at: www.facebook.com/AberdeenRotary56

Applications are accepted year round. Those that are postmarked by July 15th will be considered during the annual August review period.
