Scholarships

Congratulations on your upcoming Graduation!
 
The members of Plano West Rotary Club (PWRC) know that you are approaching this milestone with great anticipation of taking the next step in your life and career. We wish you the best as you take that step.

 

One of the many activities that PWRC undertakes each year in serving our community is to assist Plano high school seniors in continuing their education by awarding six (6) one-thousand-dollar ($1,000.00) scholarships. This scholarship can be for technical or collegiate education.

Scholarships are open to high school seniors attending a Plano ISD school or who live in the city of Plano and attends another school and will be payable to their college or technical school of choice at the beginning of their first semester. Winners will provide a copy of the invoice for their tuition and their student ID number for payment.

In order to apply, it is necessary for you to submit this application by midnight on Sunday, May 3, 2026.  You are required to include two (2) letters of recommendation on community service and/or leadership.

Our scholarship committee will evaluate all applications and finalists will be selected for interviews with the committee, which will take place over the weekend of May 16-17, 2026. These interviews will be virtual over ZOOM.

This scholarship is awarded based on the following criteria: Leadership, Community Service, and Need. This is not an academic based only scholarship. 

You will be asked to:

 

  1. List all volunteer and community service projects that you have participated in
  2. List all leadership roles that you have held
  3. List all awards and special recognitions received
  4. List all extra-curricular activities or hobbies in which you participate
  5. State in 100 words or less why you feel you should be awarded a scholarship from the Plano West Rotary Club.
