MONTE VISTA — The Monte Vista Rotary Club is proud to announce that it will once again offer the Dick Boyce Memorial Book Scholarship to a qualifying high school senior from either the Monte Vista or Sargent High School. It is also open to a Monte Vista Rotary member’s child who is a graduating senior attending a high school elsewhere in the San Luis Valley. One scholarship is awarded annually. The application deadline is April 6.

This scholarship is designed to pay book fees for a 2018 graduating high school senior who will be attending either Adams State University or Trinidad Jr. College on a full-time basis. More specifically, it will pay book fees for up to and including the sum of $500 per year for a total of four consecutive years. It is eligible for Adams State University for four consecutive years or Trinidad Jr. College for two years and then Adams State University for the subsequent two years if the student transfers to Adams State University from Trinidad Jr. College. 

Dick Boyce was a very active Rotarian from the Sargent area who believed in his local community and the education of its youth.

The Monte Vista Rotary is a civic club that has been in existence since 1920, serving the Monte Vista community in many ways. The club annually completes two highway clean-ups, a cemetery clean-up, and support financially many other community projects throughout the year.  The Ski Hi Stampede BBQ is the largest fundraiser.
