Two graduating Twentynine Palms High School seniors were helped on to the next level of education with scholarships from their local community service club.
The Rotary Club hosted Tyler Luke and Caroline Morning at their meeting of June 12, 2024, to get their checks and be recognized by the club and their supporters.
Tyler Luke told the club he would be using his scholarship to finish two years at Copper Mountain College before heading for further education in aviation with the goal of becoming a commercial pilot.
Caroline Morning is heading to Northern Arizona University to study Economics.
The scholarships were awarded after a committee of Rotarians, under the leadership of John Cole, reviewed essays from the applicants. The Rotary Club has made Youth services a priority and awards scholarships yearly.
The 29 Palms Rotary Club, established March 15, 1948, is the oldest service club in the Morongo Basin, they meet Wednesdays at noon at the Little Church of the Desert Meeting Hall. Local professionals are urged to find out how to become a member. More information on the local club is available at rotary29.org.
