RYLA - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive youth leadership experience organized by Rotary Clubs and districts to develop leadership skills for our youth while having fun and making connections. The RYLA for District 5680 will be held May 28-31, 2024 at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas and is open for high school Freshmen, Sophomores, or Juniors. The students are selected and sponsored by a Rotary Club but may also be sponsored by a family Rotarian since it is open to Rotarian family members. Do you have a family member, neighbor, or friend that will benefit from this experience? Each Rotary Club in the District has a $100 scholarship from District 5680 available to use for their students. NOW is the time to submit those applications. All information is available at www.sckans.edu/leadership and then service outreach/RotaryCamp.For more information please contact Dean Kennedy at [email protected].
American Legion Boys State of Kansas
There are still openings for sophomores to attend The American Legion Boys State of Kansas. We are still accepting students' applications for this year's session on Sunday, June 2, 2024 to Saturday, June 8, 2024, which is being held at Kansas State University. Here are a few reminders of the opportunities presented to students attending this premier leadership academy. First, we have multiple scholarships for those attending this year's session, including the Samsung Scholarship, which could allow a student to earn up to $10,000. Second, this year's session allows someone attending to earn college credit for this year's session through Kansas State University. This is a good deal; students will gain a class worth of college credits at a reduced rate. Finally, we will have a college fair attended by multiple universities and military branches, including Westpoint and the Air Force Academy. Application Deadline: April 30, 2024 https://ksbstate.org/apply/ / https://ksbstate.org/program-information/ / https://ksbstate.org/program-information/samsung-scholarship/
