The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole last week held its annual scholarship awards luncheon where they awarded $186,500 total to 39 High School graduates.
Rotarian Len Carlman gave the students a charge based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights urging them to carry forward equal opportunity, equal justice and equal dignity wherever they go.
Amy Ringholz has donated over $85,000 in art that has been auctioned to raise scholarship funds and two students each year are awarded an art scholarship. Scholarship Committee Chair Jeff Ward announced a 70% increase this year in multi-year scholarships, saying this has been a goal of the program, to help more students “get all the way to the finish line.”
Ward paid special recognition to the late Foster Friess, and the phenomenal support of the Friess family for their match challenge donations to the Rotary scholarship program over the years, now totaling over $500,000.
