For 27 years, the Rotary Club of Goleta has collaborated with the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara to encourage more young people to pursue a college degree. In 1983, the Goleta Rotary Club Scholarship Fund was established to assist deserving Goleta Valley students.
Rotary Club members work throughout the year on a variety of fundraising activities, and turn over a portion of the proceeds each year to the Scholarship Foundation to finance the annual scholarship awards. In turn, the Scholarship Foundation screens candidates from among its 3,000 applications and selects a few worthy graduating high school seniors from either Dos Pueblos or San Marcos high schools who plan to attend SBCC. This year, the Goleta Rotary Club donated $6,500 for these scholarship awards. Since the fund was started, the Rotary Club of Goleta has raised more than $120,000 for students.
“We are pleased be in partnership with the Goleta Rotary Club,” said Colette Hadley, executive director of the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara. “It is a privilege to manage this scholarship fund, and we commend the members of the Goleta Rotary who are helping to support the next generation of community leaders.”
