The deadline for the The West Seattle Rotary Club Service Foundation Vern Gambriell Scholarship is coming up in just a few weeks. Feb 15 is the last day that applications can be made for the annual award totaling about $6000, given entirely to one student or split between multiple students.

The scholarship is meant to make it possible for the recipient(s) to pursue a post-secondary educational program at an accredited institution. The scholarship is awarded based on financial need and academic merit with the specific desire of the donor being that assistance is provided to students who would not otherwise be able to attend college. The funds may be used for tuition and fees.

Any unexpended funds will be returned to the West Seattle Rotary Club Service Foundation Gambriell Scholarship Fund. Preference will be given to residents of West Seattle.
