Six scholarships to be awarded to students of Joliet High Schools
 
The Rotary Club of Joliet is seeking applications from students in the Joliet school district for six $1,000 scholarships.  These scholarships may be used for tuition only at any accredited college or university.
 
The scholarship application includes essay questions about the extracurricular and volunteer activities, college and career goals.  In 1989, “Service Above Self” was established as the principal motto of the Rotary International because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.  The student applications will be asked to describe how they incorporate “Service” into their everyday life and why they feel it is important to do so.
 
Students who attend Joliet Catholic Academy, Joliet Township High School - Central Campus, and Joliet Township High School - West Campus are eligible to apply.  The deadline for submission is April 15, 2023 at noon. (The application must be received on or before the submission date.) Transcripts must be emailed to Amanda Quinn, aquinn@jjc.edu by noon on April 15, 2023.

On March 18th, 2023, Rotary is teaming up with the American Red Cross, Joliet Fire Department, and East Joliet Fire Protection District to install 325 free smoke alarms across Joliet. Working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death from home fires in half. That's why we're rallying the community to Sound the Alarm and Save Lives!
 
Joliet Rotarians will join the American Red Cross to work in teams and install smoke alarms in Joliet.
