Last year, the Silver City Rotary Club decided to establish a vocational scholarship program at WNMU. The initial funding for the program was for  three (3) $500.00 scholarships in Technology to WNMU students.  Two of those scholarships have been awarded, both in Electrical Technology. The recipients are Joshua Lara and Charles DeMars-Conoly.

One scholarship remains available. For further information, go to https://foundation.wnmu.edu/scholarship/info/ and look for the Rotary Vocational Scholarship under Applied Technology. 

The Rotary Club meets every Tuesday for lunch in the Sunset Room of the WNMU Student Cafeteria. The club welcomes members of the public to the meetings. Guests are asked to contribute $10 if they want to participate in the hot lunch.

Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Rotary is the world’s oldest and largest service organization, with more than 1.2 million members in more than168 countries. Since its founding in 1923, the Silver City Rotary Club has provided support and service to numerous non-profit organizations and civic causes in Silver City and Grant County as well as supporting and participating in humanitarian projects sponsored by Rotary International.
