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.

Students who attend Joliet Catholic Academy, Joliet Township High School, Central Campus, and Joliet Township High School, West Campus are eligible to apply. Any student wishing to apply for these scholarships should request an application from their school counselor beginning February 12, 2021.
The deadline for submission is Friday, April 23, 2021.
