May 10 at Lincoln South Rotary - Scholarship Presentations

Congratulations to Sam Rice and Karlie Van Meter who spoke to the Lincoln South Rotary Club on Friday May 10 after being awarded college scholarships from our Club. Click here for photos.

Sam Rice is from Pius X High School and plans to attend UNL with a major in media production. He hopes to own his own production company in the future. He said that Service Above Self is something that he learned at a young age. His earliest experience was serving at Matt Talbot Kitchen where the realities of the homeless hit hard seeing kids his age who did not know where their next meal would come from. He intends to continue to invest in people and causes that enrich Lincoln in college and beyond.

 

Karlie Van Meter is graduating from Lincoln East High School. Her plans include a major in Hospitality Management and a minor in Leadership and Communication in Business. Her college studies will start at UNL this fall. When she thinks about Service Above Self she believes it means that the reasoning behind our actions aren't for financial gain, publicity, awards or anything else involving self. It is to make an impact on, and improve, our community. She plans to continue to volunteer in the community.

 

We awarded a third scholarship to a student who was unable to attend due to a family medical appointment. Mujteba Al Hajaj is graduating from Lincoln North Star school and attending Nebraska Wesleyan in the pre-med program.
