Student Application for The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona 2024

Description

Rotary is an international service organization sharing common values throughout our organization. Because our funds are limited, applications to attend some vocational education programs may be declined because they do not fit in the following areas of our international focus:

  1. Promoting peace

  2. Fighting disease

  3. Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene

  4. Saving mothers and children

  5. Supporting education

  6. Growing local economies

  7. Protecting the environment

In recent years, most of our grants have been to support students studying in health-related vocational programs, with a growing number studying fields which serve more basic needs or help expand our Arizona economy. We fund directly to the educational institution – never directly to the student. 

Our most common maximum one-time grant is $2,000. If the cost of the program is less than $2,000, we will not fund more than the cost. Allowed costs include:

  • Tuition

  • Books

  • Fees

  • Tools

  • Uniforms

  • Other items required to get certification

Our "Finish Line" grant is a one-time grant of up to $3,000 for the final term or semester of a longer-term vocational education program. If the cost of the final semester is less than $3,000, we will not fund more than the cost (using the above list of allowed costs).

Selection Process

To be eligible to apply for a TRVFA vocational education grant, the applicant must

  • Be a resident of the State of Arizona
  •  Have estimated current-year household income equal to or less than 150% of the published poverty level. If the applicant files jointly or is a dependent on someone else’s tax return, the full household size and estimated current-year income must be stated.
  • Attend a postsecondary school/training institution in Arizona to obtain vocational training which can be completed in two years or less.
  •  NOT have already earned a college degree.
