Blairstown Rotary proudly presented seven scholarships to outstanding students from North Warren Regional High School at the June 4 Senior Awards Presentation. These remarkable young individuals have embraced the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self” and demonstrated it through their meaningful contributions to others throughout their high school years. Some have served through school-based clubs or mission trips, while others have made an impact by volunteering with local food banks, scouting organizations, church groups, peer mentoring, or tutoring programs. No matter the path, each of these students has shown a genuine commitment to serving their community.
We also want to recognize and commend all the students who applied for these scholarships. Their passion, dedication, and service made the selection process both inspiring and incredibly difficult for our committee.
We offer our congratulations to the following Rotary scholarship recipients:

Each has inspired us with their leadership, compassion, and commitment to serving others. They truly embody the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self,” and we are confident that they will continue to make a positive difference as they move forward in their education and their lives.
Blairstown Rotary scholarships are funded through many of our club activities such as the 50/50 dinner, golf outings and other events. Our local club supports a variety of initiatives, from community service projects and youth leadership development to food drives, our dictionary/literacy project, the 4th of July fireworks, duck races, and more. The Blairstown Rotary is part of Rotary International, a global organization of 1.4 million members dedicated to creating lasting change — in our communities and around the world.
On behalf of the Blairstown Rotary, thank you to everyone who helps make these scholarships possible, and we welcome you to join us! Once again, congratulations to all our recipients. We are proud to invest in the future of our community by supporting young leaders who show us that the spirit of service is alive and well.
