The Brundidge Rotary Club has named the recipients of the club’s nine Rotary, Honorary and Memorial Scholarships for the 2019-2020 school year. The Brundidge Rotary Club Scholarships are awarded annually to graduating seniors at area high schools.  This year, seniors from five high schools, Pike County, Goshen, Pike Liberal Arts, Zion Chapel and Ariton were so honored.

“We continue to have very good classes of seniors from which to choose,” said Rotarian Don Dickert, scholarship committee chair. “Our applicants are very sharp and will be good community leaders. They have all worked hard and are deserving of our club’s assistance.”

Dickert said the Rotarians would like to be able to award a scholarship to each of the applicants but the number of scholarships awarded is dependent on funding.

“Our funds are limited so we are very fortunate to be able to award nine, scholarships this year,” Dickert  said. “Our club’s fund-raising activities, Don Johnston, Jr.,  Sherroll Tatom, Larry Shiver and the family of Ralph Dicker provided funding for the scholarships this year.”

Dickert said the scholarships will be presented later in June.

“The Brundidge Rotary Club congratulates all of the scholarship winners,” Dickert said. “We are confident they will reach and exceed their goals in education and in life.”
