Hyannis Rotary Scholarships

For many years, The Rotary Club of Hyannis has offered college scholarships, and this year will award $25,000 to local students. The club has helped make college dreams come true for dozens of students over the years. Each summer, all scholarship winners are invited to a club luncheon meeting to tell the membership about their future plans. The scholarship program is very popular with Rotarians, school officials and of course the winners!
