This year, the Rotary Club of Prince Frederick will award four scholarships of $2,000 each to Calvert County students who are continuing their studies past the high school level.
Two will be given to high school seniors entering a four-year college. The third will help support a high school senior who is completing vocational studies at the Calvert Career Center, and will be enrolled in a post-secondary program of study. This scholarship has been designated as the “Eddie Allen Scholarship” named after a long time member of the Prince Frederick Rotary Club. The fourth scholarship will be awarded to a student at the Prince Frederick Campus of the College of Southern Maryland who will be pursuing a degree at a four year college or university.
One of these scholarships may be designated for an individual studying environmental sciences, and is named in honor of Brian Albright. Brian was a young environmental scientist at the Academy of Natural Resources Estuarine Research Center on the grounds of Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, who died suddenly in 2001.
Applications for the scholarships can be acquired from the guidance counselor’s office in the various high schools, or the school advisory department at the College of Southern Maryland, Prince Frederick Campus. Students are urged to complete and submit the applications as soon as possible. The deadline for submission is March 15, 2010.
The club plans to award these four scholarships by late May or early June 2010.
