Our Academic Scholarship Program 2024

If you are interested in a Technical Training, those applications are open all year around.  Look for "Technical Training Application" below.   
 
The money we give to graduating seniors and to the students who are already in college, comes from the Upper Keys Rotary Gigantic Nautical Market that happens at the end of February. Because of the community support and the excellent sponsors, in 2023- 2024 the Upper Keys Rotary Club will provide $200,000 in scholarships to Keys scholars including $40,000 to the Monroe County Take Stock in Children Program and $35,000 to other local programs.
We support students proving themselves in higher education with awards totaling over $100,000 to 42 Upper Keys students attending colleges or universities. They are musicians, nurses, pre-med students, business majors, and a surprising number of engineers. We also offer scholarships for students in Career Technical Education including three Village of Islamorada Firefighters who grew their skills and became Emergency Medical Technicians. (See the Technical Training Application below) 

 
Applications for the 2024-2025 Upper Keys Rotary Acedemic Scholarship Program will be available in March 2024.  See you then.
