Capital City Sunrise awards five scholarships
The
Rotary Club of the Capital City Sunrise has had a scholarship program in effect
since the early 1990s. The first naming of a scholarship was to recognize
Randolph W. Daniels, a Capital City Rotarian who was an active supporter of his club and the Boys
and Girls Club of Concord. Each year the Daniels family and dedicated
volunteers run the Randy Daniels Memorial Golf Tournament to raise funds for
both organizations as well as the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
The Don
Miner Memorial Scholarship was named to pay tribute to the Capital City Rotary
founder, spark plug and most ardent supporter.
The
scholarships are competitive and available to students in the capital city area
who balance their studies with exemplary community service in keeping with the
Rotary motto "Service above Self". The award is for a thousand dollars each and,
unlike most scholarships is granted directly to the student in August after
their tuition has been paid. The money
can be used for books and/or other startup expenses.
Scholarships
are available to those students attending 2 or 4 year colleges or vocational
institutions. Applications are available from area high school guidance
councilors. For the past number of years there have been five scholarship award
recipients.
This year's
winners of the Randy Daniels Memorial Scholarship are: Andrew K. Phinney,
