2012 Scholarship Application (Word) 2012 Scholarship Application (PDF) The Rock River Road Runners
are in our fifth year of offering scholarships to deserving local runners. The
first year we offered only one $500 scholarship. In the second year, we
offered two $500 and in 2010 two $400. This year we are pleased to be
offering two $500 scholarships. The winners have been from
Newman, Sterling, Fulton, and Eastland. Forms are given to the schools in
towns which our Rock River Road Runners members live. The forms tell more
about the requirements for applying. We look for kids who have running as
part of their lives and believe in lifelong fitness. In other words, you
don’t have to be a star track athlete to receive these scholarships. However,
sometimes they are. The scholarship committee conducts
several fundraisers during the year. We have already completed a trail clean
up behind Westwood and our fun Glitz and Glamour Run. The committee and
executive board members meet and read through the applications. We use a
number system to rate each applicant in several categories. We crunch the
numbers and come up with the recipients. Someone from the board or committee
tries to present the scholarship at the respective winners’ awards
ceremonies. |
