For over 110 years, the Rotary Foundation, the Rotary Clubs of California, and their members have used their passion to take action on sustainable projects in their communities. Their dedication has empowered countless individuals through scholarships, internships, and vital support services, ensuring their success in higher education.
“Rotary clubs in California are proud to work with their local community colleges to provide financial assistance to students seeking higher education. Supporting individuals who are pursuing transfer or career pathways is at the core of our mission and it is our honor to help them on their individual journey” - Marta Golding Brown, Rotary 5240 District Governor
By alleviating financial barriers, Rotary helps students fulfill their educational and career dreams. The collective efforts of individual members and clubs significantly impact the largest system of higher education in the nation, and helps to improve the communities of California.
