Mountain Home Rotary recently hosted their 2021 scholarship winners from Baxter County. Each year, the club donates $8,000 to “The Promise”, which grants free tuition for all Mountain Home High School graduates to attend Arkansas State University-Mountain Home. Beyond that, MH Rotarians give out 10 $1000 scholarships to other Baxter County graduates.
Rotarian of the Day Trevor Himschoot, representing the Rotary Scholarship Committee, introduced each guest student. The individual graduates talked about their future plans and thanked Rotarians for the opportunity to continue their education.
The recipients for 2021 are: Grace Hilvert (MHHS), Gianna Taylor (MHHS), Emma Martin (MHHS), Daxton Hickman (MHHS), Amber Stevenson (CHS), Aimee Tardiff (CHS), Taylor Satterfield (NHS), Olivia Weber (MHHS), Mandelyn Smeltzer (MHHS) and Anna Hayes (CHS).
Thanks to the community’s support of the annual Pancake Day fundraiser, the Mountain Home Rotary Club can provide scholarships that change the course of young lives.
