Scholarships
One of the ways to enhance the future is the assist young people in
obtaining an education beyond high school. To further this effort, Cary
Central has established three scholarship
programs: the Robert F. McClain, the Boyce Brown and the Boy and Girls Homes of NC.
The Robert F. McClain Scholarship
Robert McClain was
a charter member of the Club and very active in community service. He
died suddenly while working to provide firewood to the needy. This
scholarship, established in 1986 in his memory, provides $1,000 per
year for four years to a Cary-area student. Selection is based on
academic performance, extra curriculum activities and need.
The Boyce Brown Scholarship
Boyce
Brown was an outstanding Rotarian, serving as Cary Central's President,
as well as District Governor. Boyce was interested in assuring that
high school students were able to develop technical skills at the
community college level. Following Boyce's untimely death, Cary Central
established a scholarship in 1993 to promote his interests. The
scholarship provides $1,000 per year, renewable for two years (Note:
this is out of sync with RFMS above -- why wording renewable??? we need
to similar wording for both the RFMS and BBS. Also, need to sync
wording below in the BFHofNC below.) , to an
individual pursuing a technical degree at Wake Technical Community
College.
The Boys and Girls Homes of NC Scholarship
Young men and women graduating from high school at the Boys and Girls Home often lack the financial resources to continue their education. This scholarship, established in 1988, provides $1,000 for one year to a deserving individual who plans to attend a technical school, community college or university.
