Our Commitment to Youth and Youth Education Ripon Rotary's primary commitment is to youth and education. The chief expression of this commitment is our scholarship program which receives the lion's share of our annual operating budget. Our program supports students attending traditional post-secondary educational institutions as well as those seeking to take advantage of other valuable educational opportunities. The scholarships offered annually by our Club are listed below. Recently
our Club initiated an annual Scholarship Dinner to recognize our scholarship
recipients, their families, and their teachers as well as raise some of the
money given as scholarships. Ripon Rotary Scholarships The Ripon Rotary Club awards the following four scholarships annually to four deserving high school seniors.
