On April 20 & 21st, 2011, Monrovia Rotary Club Scholarship Committee interviewed 36 elite high school students in Monrovia for our annual Scholarship grants. These students have survived the rigorous process of being graded on their academics, test scores, commitment to their community and their achievements. The final hurdle was the face- to-face interview with the Rotarians as scholarship recipients are selected.

These students never fail to impress, and often, we are fortunate to be able to build mentoring relationships with these students that last a lifetime. Many will be the first in their family to attend college and have overcome tremendous odds.
