High school seniors in Door County can get a jump start on financing their future education at a technical college with help from the Rotary Club of Sturgeon Bay. Applications for the Rotary Technical Education/Robert Muckian Scholarship are being accepted now for the 16th year. The scholarships range from $500 to $1,500 and are funded through the Rotary Club of Sturgeon Bay Charitable Trust and an endowment from the estate of Rotarian Robert Muckian.  Committee Chair Dr. John Swanson shares the legacy behind the Muckian Scholarship, now in its 16th year, and why it was started. 

The scholarship application deadline is March 10, with awards presented at the Rotary luncheon in April. The Sturgeon Bay Rotary Club also offers academic scholarships called “Service Above Self” for seniors seeking a four-year education. You can find application information on both Rotary scholarships with this link.
