The Rotary Club of Sun Lakes (RCSL) extends congratulations to the winners of the Rotary Club’s annual 2024 High School Service Above Self and Vocational Scholarships to the following:

• Daniel Johnson, Service Above Self Scholarship Award. Daniel is a Perry High School graduate who will be attending Grand Canyon University, majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in theology.

• Max Vogus, Vocational Scholarship Award. Max is a Hamilton High School graduate attending the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe in the fall to become an audio engineer.

• Minjee Kim, Service Above Self Scholarship Award. Minjee is a Hamilton High School graduate attending Emory University in Georgia in the fall to study neuroscience.

• Michael Shin, Service Above Self Scholarship Award. Michael is a Hamilton High School graduate who will be attending Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., to study biochemistry.

According to RCSL Scholarship Committee Chair/CUSD Executive Director Elementary Schools West Region Leo Schlueter, the $2,000 scholarship payments will be sent directly to the school/university the student will be attending this fall. A panel of judges reviewed and scored applications from area high school seniors. Each application included a 300-word essay, which provided the student’s beliefs and understanding of what “service above self” means; teacher recommendations; and student academic standing data. Also, RCSL’s selections were based on each student’s exhibiting exemplary acts of service and character.
