Since they were launched in D9800 seven years ago, almost every student who has received a Rotary Year 11-12 Scholarship has completed their secondary education successfully, and the vast majority have gone on to tertiary education. It is not just the money that provides motivation, but the confidence a young person gains from the recognition by others that they have potential, and that their potential is valued.
