The Poulsbo Rotary scholarships program began in 1993 and has awarded hundreds of scholarships to deserving students. Our scholarship program serves the needs of new freshmen, students already in college, and students following a professional/technical education path.
Academic for New Freshmen
Scholarships range from $500 to $2500 and are awarded to students graduating this year from an accredited high school located within the geographical boundaries of North Kitsap High School, as well as to graduating home schooled students who live within the same boundaries.
Academic for College Students
Scholarships range from $500 to $2500 and are awarded to sophomores, juniors or seniors enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university and who are permanent residents of the area served by North Kitsap High School. Full time students in their junior or senior academic years at Western Washington University (Poulsbo branch) are also eligible (regardless of permanent residency).
Professional, Technical & Vocational
Scholarships range from $500 to $2500 and are awarded to individuals pursuing a professional or technical certification (i.e., not a 2- or 4-year degree) at a technical/professional school or community college. Qualifying programs include (but are not limited to) engineering, computer technology, hospitality, dental or medical fields, construction, automotive or cosmetology.
