Rotary Club of Lethbridge East and Lethbridge Scholarships: A Gateway to Success

Imagine receiving a scholarship valued at $10,000 to fuel your academic pursuits and nurture your passion for agriculture.

The promise of financial support is undoubtedly heartwarming.

Eligibility: Nurturing Local Talent

The eligibility criteria are designed to ensure that the scholarships reach those who are deeply rooted in Southern Alberta:

1. Applicants must have successfully completed at least two full years (60 credit hours) of training at a recognized post-secondary institution in agriculture or a related field, with substantial and documented agricultural content. This underlines the importance of academic dedication.
2. Applicants must either be legal residents of Southern Alberta or have lived in this region for seven of the past ten years. Southern Alberta encompasses the Counties of Lethbridge, Taber, Warner, Forty Mile, Cardston, Pincher Creek, Ranchlands, Willow Creek, Cypress, Newell, Vulcan, and all municipalities within these counties, including Lethbridge, Brooks, and Medicine Hat. Furthermore, the Municipalities of Crowsnest Pass and the Blood (Kainai) and Piikani First Nations are included. This requirement binds the scholarship to the very soil we aim to nurture.
3. Adhering to the timeless principles governing Rotary Foundation scholarships, Rotarians, Rotaractors, and their immediate family members are not eligible to apply. This ensures impartiality in the selection process.

The final judgment regarding applicant eligibility rests with the Scholarship Adjudication Committee, a group whose decision carries immense weight.
