Ashland Rotary Foundation

The Ashland Rotary Foundation was created in 1971 by members of the Rotary Club of  Ashland to receive, hold and administer funds and other property which will be used to assist local students to achieve a higher education or vocational degree.

The Foundation awards grants and scholarships to graduating high school seniors.  From 1990 through 2008 the Foundation has aided hundreds of deserving students.  The amount and number of scholarships is based on interest earned on the Foundation's corpus which is currently close to $1,000.000.00 -- all contributed by members..
