Salem Rotary Scholarship Awards
Application Process
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.
These scholarships are available to Grade 12 High School and Trade School students pursuing college or a vocational trade school. Online applications will be accepted from February 21 through April 14, 2023.
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.

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.

Scholarship applications are due by Friday, April 14, 2023. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Any questions should be directed to your school's guidance department.
