For Prospective Students - Scholarship Fund

print this page

The Rotary Youth Exchange Program in District 7430 has impacted close to 2000 young men and women over the past 40 years. Students come from and are hosted in some 60 high schools in our district. All of this is accomplished by the support and hard work of the individual clubs who sponsor and host the exchange students.

Like everything else today the expense of going on exchange has gone up considerably. This has impacted some of the individual student’s ability to go out. To help defray some of these costs, the District has started a scholarship fund. Thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Spring-Ford and a few individuals, the District has started a Scholarship account under the 7430 Foundation.

Scholarship money will be made available to those students that can demonstrate a financial need. Funds can be used to pay for travel expenses, insurance cost and other necessary expenses.

Applications can be submitted through the students sponsoring Rotary Club. The deadline for applications is March 15^th. If you have any questions concerning the scholarship please contact the Youth Exchange Officer of your sponsoring Rotary Club or John St.Clair.

Individuals or Rotary Clubs wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund should send their donation to District 7430 Foundation, Youth Exchange Scholarship, 711 Bethlehem Pike, Erdenheim PA 19038.
