Good Luck in your studies at university and your future endeavors.
Each year, our club presents four $1000 scholarships to one senior from each of the Chandler High Schools from money raised through our Annual Hole-in-One Golf Tournament. The student counselor at the high schools nominates the students who they think would be deserving of this award. Our Rotary Club Scholarship Committee meets with the counselors to make the final decision. Chaz Mattison plans to attend Chandler Gilbert Community College, Jacob Smith, Pimwadee Linsirichai and Melanie League will be attending Arizona State University.
The club also presents scholarships to two individuals attending Chandler Gilbert Community College. These scholarships typically are awarded to individuals who are returning to school to improve their skills or to complete their degree who otherwise may not have the opportunity. These applicants are also selected by counselors at the College and the club’s Scholarship Committee.
In the photo to the right, Pimwadee Linsirichai from Chandler HS accepts her $1000.00 scholarship from Rotary member Dr. Chuy Ortiz. Standing by her side are her parents. Pimwadee will attend ASU where she will study in Chemical Engineering with plans to go on to graduate school.

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Chandler Compadre Branch
Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley
Youth of the Year - Gus Garcia
Boys & Girls Club Area Director and Rotary Member Chilo Figueroa with Gus Garcia
Chandler Horizon Rotary Club held their weekly meeting on July 28th at the newly built East Valley Boys & Girls Club - the Compadre Branch. The club supports the Boys & Girls Club through money raised at the annual Hole-in-One Golf Tournament.
Gus Garcia spoke during the meeting about his experiences and his involvement with the Boys & Girls Club. He shared with us that he was thankful for the opportunity to take part in the after school activities when he was younger and how the club had made an impact on his life. He first attended the club when he was eight years old. Ten years later he is still going every day, when not attending school, and is a mentor and a friend to the younger children. Gus will be attending Chandler Gilbert Community College where he plans to start his studies towards a law degree.
Rotarians believe in service above self and it is richly rewarding. If you would like the opportunity to serve, enjoy fellowship with professional men and women who believe in helping others and would like to attend one of our meetings where you will hear key speakers providing information about the community, the nation and the world, contact one of our club members. We would be delighted to talk to you about Rotary.
If you know of a student who may qualify for this scholarship and wants to make application, have he/she contact their high school counselor to learn how to apply for a Chandler Horizon Rotary Scholarship.
