"We stand at a pivotal moment in Salem's history," Pangallo told attendees. "The decisions we make today will shape our community for generations to come."

Salem Rotary Club Scholarship Applications Are OPEN
The Salem Rotary Club provides scholarships for students who are pursuing further education after high school. Much of the fundraising the club performs during the year (such as our calendar raffle and auction gala) goes to supporting this endeavor. We wish all applicants the best of luck and success in their future studies.

Applicant must be a resident of Salem, Massachusetts. Applicants for the Salem Rotary scholarships may not be the child, grandchild, niece, nephew, great niece or great nephew (this includes adoptive or step relationship) of any current member of Salem Rotary, or any person that has been a member of Salem Rotary within the past five years.

The scholarships are available to Grade 12 High School students pursuing college or further career/technical education.  Online applications will be accepted from February 1 through April 17, 2025.

The purpose of the Robert P. “Buck” Alexander, D.M.D. Merit Scholarship is to recognize and reward students who contribute to and make a difference in their home, school and community at large, and who are likely to continue to do so in the future.  This is a merit scholarship, and like the National Merit Scholarship, selection will be based on merit, character, accomplishment and involvement, and is largely need blind. This scholarship is meant to complement the Rotary Scholarships by recognizing those exceptional students who have demonstrated that they are not afraid to work hard and give their time to make life a little better for others.

Any student who is awarded scholarship funds agrees to notify the Salem Rotary Club immediately if they do not enroll for any reason, or if they drop out during the first half of the year.  Students agree to return to the Salem Rotary Club the funds they have received if they do not enroll or leave school before the end of the year.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS, NOT EVERY APPLICANT WILL RECEIVE A SCHOLARSHIP EVEN IF YOU ARE SELECTED FOR AN INTERVIEW. Typically, several applicants receive a Salem Rotary Scholarship, while only two applicants receive the Robert P. “Buck” Alexander, D.M.D. Merit Scholarship.

We thank you for your interest and recognize your hard work and effort during high school. We wish you luck in your future endeavors whether or not we are able to award you a scholarship.
 
Scholarship applications are due by Thursday, April 17, 2025.  Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Any questions should be directed to your guidance department.
 
The Scholarship Committee assumes that applicants have reviewed their applications for accuracy and completeness prior to submitting. Discrepancies, contradictions, inaccuracies or omissions may lead to rejection of an application.

Salem Rotary Club Spreads Holiday Cheer at DCF Celebration
Salem Rotary Club Spreads Holiday Cheer at DCF Celebration
The Salem Rotary Club hosted its annual Department of Children and Families (DCF) Holiday party at Kernwood Country Club, bringing joy to foster families across the North Shore. The event featured entertainment including a visit from Santa Claus himself.
Club President Carolyn Shapiro emphasized the significance of this cherished tradition, noting how Rotarians find fulfillment in bringing happiness to community families. The celebration provided over 65 children with holiday gifts and activities while enabling foster children to spend quality time with siblings who may live in separate foster homes.
Rotary members collaborated with DCF Family Resource Worker Carla King to organize the event, managing gift wrapping, transportation, setup, and cleanup. 
DCF serves over 100,000 youth annually, focusing on protecting children from abuse and neglect while strengthening families through programs like foster care. The department works to provide safe homes and caring foster parents for children removed from unsafe living situations.
