River Cities Rotary Club sets April 10 deadline for scholarship applications

The Rotary Club of River Cities is excited to announce applications are now open for the Brian B. Wegrzyn Scholarship Program.

Eligible students are encouraged to apply by April 10.

This scholarship honors Brian Wegrzyn, a devoted 45-year club member, Paul Harris Fellow and three-term president of the Mount Prospect & Prospect Heights Rotary Club. He also served as assistant governor for three terms and was a passionate advocate for student scholarships. He passed away last year after a battle with cancer and the annual scholarship fund has been renamed in his memory.

Each spring, two $1,500 scholarships are awarded to students residing in Des Plaines, Mount Prospect or Prospect Heights who plan to pursue a vocational program, associate degree or bachelor’s degree. The scholarship may be renewed for an additional year, provided the student maintains full-time enrollment and a “B” average, bringing the total potential award to $3,000.
