SCHOLARSHIPS

ROTARY MEDALIST AWARDS
 
The Rotary Club of St Catharines Lakeshore’s involvement with the Rotary Medalist Awards presented to graduating students at our three sponsor schools has now evolved into a single scholarship to one graduating student from each of our 3 locally sponsored schools.  They are Governor Simcoe Secondary School, St. Francis Catholic Secondary School and Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School. Further information regarding this new program will be presented to these schools soon. We look forward to our continuing relationship with these schools as well as being part of their convocations.
