** The Scholarship Interviews have been moved to the fall (previously held in winter) to accommodate the holiday schedule and to avoid snow days.
The Club will begin interviewing Akron Public School students for the 15 $1,000 Akron Rotary Foundation scholarships at the end of October.
Interviews will be conducted in person at the APS Administration Building (10 North Main Street). We are looking for two or three Rotarians to assist with each interview session. The time commitment will be approximately 3.5 hours, depending on the number of student applicants in each category. Interviews will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m.
Interview Dates
- Manufacturing, Engineering and Skilled Trades: Wednesday, October 28 | 8:00–11:30 a.m.
- Health and Human Services: Friday, November 6 | 8:00–11:30 a.m.

We will forward the student application materials we receive from APS a few days prior to each scheduled interview session. We will also provide you with a copy of the interview questions for your guidance.
If you are interested in participating, please email Amber at amberbarkoukis@gmail.com and let her know which category or categories you would be interested in interviewing. Amber will notify volunteers as soon as possible regarding selections.
We encourage our new members to consider volunteering. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet some truly remarkable APS students, and we think you will be impressed by their accomplishments, goals and commitment to their futures.
Thank you for considering volunteering and for your continued support of Akron Public School students and the Akron Rotary Foundation scholarship program!
Best,
Amber, Liv and Terry
