The Kansas City, Kan., Rotary Club, as part of its annual Student Scholarship Contest, recently recognized outstanding high school students from Wyandotte County schools.
One female and one male student from each school were nominated by their schools to compete for $1,000 college scholarships. The students exemplify the highest academic, service and character standards in the community, a Rotary official said.
The female students, accompanied by family and school representatives, made short presentations before the club on April 8 at its weekly luncheon. The male students attended the April 15 meeting.
The club will choose one female and one male from the outstanding high school students to receive a $1,000 scholarship at the college or university of their choice. The scholarships will be awarded at the club’s luncheon on April 29.
