The Little Tokyo Rotary Foundation is proud to offer a $1,000 scholarships to two young persons. This scholarship is for those who have overcome adversity and are making significant accomplishments or contributions in one of the four areas: academics, sports, culture or volunteer service. The applicants must be 16-24 years old. This is to recognize and award the courageous effort by the youth who have experienced permanent or near-permanent physical or psychological challenges, serious sickness, or loss of parent(s). We hope this will help the deserving youths financially in time of COVID-19.
The deadline for the application is on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.
For application forms and questions, please contact Makiko Nakasone, President of the Little Tokyo Rotary Foundation, at rotary.handa.scholarship@gmail.com or call at (818)523-2866.
