At the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor, local students who participated in the annual Rotary Scholarship Essay Contest were honored. This competition is presented in collaboration with Berrien RESA. Both organizations are excited to share the results of the 2022 competition.
Rotary Scholarship Essay Contest co-chair Stephanie Masin shared, “Given the rigorous nature of the contest, these essays demonstrate impressive creativity, thoughtfulness and writing skills. Reading them provides insight into the thinking of the youth in our community. The quality of the submitted essays was remarkable as always, and we thank the educators in our communities for teaching, mentoring and supporting these exceptional students in their endeavors. Our best wishes and appreciation go out to each of the essayists who participated in the contest, and we wish them continued success in their future studies and efforts.”
