It is that time of year again when high school seniors and their parents are thinking of their post high school education. Regardless of the their educational choices, the cost is going to be enormous. High School Seniors are actively applying for scholarship help in their communities. Many community service organizations offer scholarships. And, in many cases, those that excel in their high school studies and on the ACT & SAT exams usually have the inside track to receiving those scholarships. Here is a Rotary club in Texas that takes a slightly different approach to selecting students for the scholarships they offer. First of all, to qualify, students need to belong to their club sponsored Intereact Club. Why, because Interact provides the student experience that reinforces Rotary's focus on service to others, promoting integrity, advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace as student leaders. The other unique feature of their scholaship is the post high school educational institution the students choose to attend can include 4 year programs, 2 year programs and trade schools. They want students to choose a school that will advance their chosen vocation. Check out the story below. This clubs scholarship is intended for Senior Interact club members at Fred Moore High School and Lake Dallas High School in Denton and Lake Dallas, Texas. As a Rotarian in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my hope is that more organizations that award scholarships adopt a similar approach to selecting their scholarship recipients.

TRUSTEES FOR CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE Our commitment to enhancing civic infrastructure by encouraging, educating, and inspiring individuals of all ages throughout the county would not be possible without the continued support of our trustees. LEADERship has a small group of Trustees for Civic Infrastructure who provide an annual investment critical to the ongoing success of our program. Each investment goes directly to participant programming and results in people taking on leadership roles in the community. LEADERship, in turn, banners the names of the Trustee organizations on LEADERship publications and materials. As is almost always the case with education, tuition for the class year does not cover the cost of the program. The support from the Trustees for Civic Infrastructure allows LEADERship to keep tuition at an affordable price to maintain the diversity we seek. That also allows us to maintain the growing network of leaders who are working individually and collectively to strengthen our communities. LEADERship Ashtabula County salutes our Trustees for Civic Infrastructure, who have invested in the development of people ready to make things happen. #Trustees #LEADERshipAshtabulaCounty #CommunitySupport #CommunityPartnership

Today, we're honoring Guilford County, North Carolina, as a 2023 Awards for Excellence Winner. Five years ago, Guilford County leaders identified a significant need for K-12 school capital construction. Their approach to sound financial planning was underpinned by a collaboration between the County Board of Commissioners and the Board of Education. These two boards have forged a partnership that aligns both elected bodies, the community, financial experts, and financial regulators. The effort has resulted in a sustainable funding model that supports $2 billion in voter-approved general obligation bond borrowing authority since 2020.
