Rotary Club of Dearborn Offers New Scholarship

The Rotary Club of Dearborn will offer a new scholarship to high school graduates in 2012, the Dearborn Rotary Past President Young Scholarship, to one or more graduating seniors from Dearborn’s three public high schools.

While the first scholarship of $1,500 will be awarded next year, applications to be considered need to be submitted by Jan. 16.

This new scholarship was made possible through the generosity of Robert Young, a longtime member and past president of the Rotary Club of Dearborn. He was also an educator in the Dearborn Public Schools and served as principal of Edsel Ford High School.

The scholarship will be awarded based on the applicants’ understanding of the 4-Way Test of Rotary International, along with academic performance and community engagement.

The Rotary Club of Dearborn also is seeking donations to grow this scholarship award for the future, said John Artis, Dearborn Rotary president.

“Contributing to this scholarship is a great way to honor someone who has given so much of himself to education in the Dearborn community,” Artis said.

Additional information and the application form for this year’s Dearborn Rotary Past President Young Scholarship are available online at www.DearbornRotary.org

Completed applications must be mailed to Dearborn Rotary Club, P.O. Box 2347, Dearborn, Michigan 48123 by Saturday, Jan. 16, 2012.

    It’s wonderful that Dr. Robert Young is doing this. He was known for wearing Bow-ties during his reign as EFHS Assistant Principal and Principal. Thus his nickname “Bow-Tie”. He hated the name back in the day, but today he wears it like a badge of honor. Thanks SO much for being so benevolent Bow-Tie.
