2023 Rotary Club of Nashua West Scholarship Qualifications

The Rotary Club of Nashua West distributes scholarships in four categories. These scholarships are given to deserving high school seniors from high schools in the greater Nashua area.

Any applicants who receive a Rotary Scholarship from another Rotary Club in the area will become ineligible to receive a scholarship from the Rotary Club of Nashua west. Scholarship applications are delivered electronically to most of the local schools (North, South, BG, Alvirne, Souhegan, Hollis-Brookline) Guidance departments in mid-April. Students can go to their school Guidance Departments to pick up an application, or print it out from their website.

Scholarships will be awarded at one of our rotary meetings in early June, when recipients and their parents/guardians are invited to attend. Specific dates are noted on the application.

The four categories of scholarships are as follows:
