This week the club gave out significant scholarships to graduating seniors from both Twentynine Palms and Black Rock High schools. Seven scholarships in total were given out, with student essays being the criteria used to ascertain the eligibility and amounts, Rotarian John Cole headed up the club’s scholarship committee. Smaller amounts were awarded to four students with larger scholarships given to Maryam Langdon and Kieu Huynh of 29 Palms High School and Julia Scott from Blackrock Continuation High School.
