MONTICELLO, NY – The Rotary Club of Monticello is proud to announce that $5,000 in scholarships were awarded to five students in the Monticello and Fallsburg School Districts via the Club’s scholarship fund.

Scholarship winners were selected from a select group of students who wrote essays and interviewed for these awards via the Monticello Rotary Scholarship Committee consisting of the following Rotarians: Marty Miller (Chair), Gary Tugender, Orshii Boldis, Randy Katz, and Richard Stein.

Students were selected based on their academic achievement (minimum grade point of 3.25), their involvement in school sports and activities, and most importantly, their community service as Rotary’s motto is “Service Above Self”.

Three students from the Monticello School District were honored: Marina Lombardi, Kate Oldfield, and Tiffany Sheerer. Fallsburg School District recipients were Sierra Spechler and Stephen Bedik.

Separately, the Rotary Club of Monticello will also be giving the President of the Interact Club at Monticello High School an award of $250.
