Adult Vocational Scholarship
The Rotary Club of Woodstock is pleased to announce they are accepting applications for a vocational scholarship geared to adult learners who are preparing for a career that requires less than a four year degree – this could be an Associate’s Degree or a certificate.
 
“We are excited to be able to extend critical financial support to adult members of our community who are trying to develop new skills or move into new careers” said Peter Knapp, Vocational Services Director for the ROTARY Club of Woodstock.  “Previously, a scholarship award was given to a community member who attended MAT Kosovo School in Gozo, Malta, for Humanitarian Mine Action, De-Mining and Small Arms Management.  Now, we are again ready for applicants.”
 
To be eligible, the recipient must live within the boundaries of Woodstock School District 200, be 25 years of age or older and be enrolled in a vocational degree or certificate program at an accredited institution.
 
The scholarship application can be found on the Rotary Club of Woodstock’s webpage – www.woodstockrotary.com. The application and supporting documents should be mailed to:

A tourist bought the last “brat” from a vendor on the North Sea.  A German man offered to trade a sea bird for the sausage.  The tourist took a tern for the wurst.
