ROTARY CLUB OF MADRAS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME

Over the years, Rotary Club of Madras has always focused on encouraging and supporting the youth in living a life of inspired dreams, that we can help them achieve. While we have many relevant interventions, one that actually helps them complete their education, mostly whilst in college, is by way of sponsoring their education. This year, the Scholarship committee is taking this further by planning a year-long plan of interventions with the students being sponsored by our club, to help invigorate and energize them.

Rotary Club of Madras held the inaugural event of it’sscholarship programme on July 13, 2023 with senior members and a room full of student beneficiaries. It was an inspiring and motivating afternoon as the students were handed over their scholarship amount for the academic term and a promise to support them till they get a respectable job and start their professional career. All the students that RCM supports through its scholarship programme are from very deserving background, most of them being first generation graduates. The programme will not only support them financially but will also help them get ready and confident to face the world with support in conversational English, grooming, confidence building, resume making and job interview training over the coming year.

The inaugural session was an interactive gathering where very senior Rotarians from our club spent time with all the students, sharing their experience and assured them of their support, while asking them to pursue their dreams and consistently work hard. It was an afternoon of positivity and hope as we heard all them share their challenges and dreams with us.

RCM Scholarship committee is also planning to partner with 25 other Rotary clubs in our district to reach out to students who have shone in their recent bord exams in Class X and XII, across 50 corporation schools and felicitate them.

The Scholarship Committee thanks all the Rotarians who participated in our event and motivated the students with their presence.
