The Rotary Club of La Jolla presented 17 scholarships to high-achieving high school seniors at an awards luncheon May 21. “We are so excited to be doing this scholarship program. This represents a tremendous amount of work on behalf of Rotary members,” said Russell King, facilitator of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program. “We appreciate all the work you\u2019ve done and the sacrifices you\u2019ve made to get here.” The $5,000 scholarships are divided into two types of scholarships: need-based Rotary scholarships and non-need-based Riford scholarships. “Congratulations to all of you who are scholarship recipients today,” said Cindy Goodman, co-chairwoman of the scholarship program. “You were all winners before you applied. You are winners now, and you will be winners in the future. We\u2019re delighted to be involved in the process of helping you achieve your goals. You are about to embark on the time of your lives. You\u2019re going to have a wonderful next four years and we\u2019re glad to be a part of it.” Scholarship winners for 2013 include Cameron Baggett, Tom Edman, Amir Ferry, Caitlyn Kellogg, Daniel Lee, Summer Beeson, Jessica Lange, Jacqueline Le, Brandon Khuu, Jessica Webster, Judith Martinez, Kailyn Miller, Delfina Gonsalez, Matthew Vasquez, Saron Goitom, Maura Kanter and Caroline Boldt. All of the students hail from La Jolla high schools, including La Jolla High School, La Jolla Country Day, The Bishop\u2019s School and The Preuss School at UCSD.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
