Scholarships for Students

Together with the Lacey Rotary Club the Foundation has given scholarships to the North Thurston School District students for 46 years.

As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Foundation expands the club’s resources to serve the community at a higher level and allows the broad community to participate. The mission of the Lacey Rotary Foundation is to directly support the education and community services projects of the Lacey Rotary Club by providing a means to allow donors to such programs to receive tax deductible treatment, when applicable, for their respective contributions. The Foundation provides scholarships to local graduating high school students who exemplify the Rotary ideal of “Service Above Self”. In 2017, the Foundation awarded $58,000 in scholarships. The Foundation also provides a number of opportunities for community participation in these and future projects via trusts, wills, planned giving, annual member contributions and grants.

The Foundation gives 8 scholarships to North Thurston students every year!
