The Muckian Technical Education Scholarship is a one-time award (ranging from $600 to $1,200) paid over two years, and intended to assist students, regardless of class rank, who have chosen to attend an accredited technical college or a certification program rather than attending a four-year college or university. Students must have a 2.0 GPA. This scholarship is for High School Seniors as well as graduates who are planning on returning to further education. The committee will be looking closely at participation in school activities, volunteer opportunities, job experiences, and the essay question entitled “Service above Self”. These scholarships will be awarded at the Technical Scholarship Awards Luncheon in the Spring of 2022 at the noon meeting of the Rotary Club.
