Exchange Club Scholarships
Our Exchange Club chapter gives out approximately $20,000 in scholarships each year to a mix of middle school students who will be entering a private high school in the fall, and high school seniors who will be attending college in the fall.
Award Ceremony
Each year an awards ceremony is held to present the scholarship recipients with their award, and recognize their hard work. The event will celebrate our scholarship recipients and honor our Book of Golden Deeds winner, Markus Fischer.
