Columbus Rotary Scholarships

Columbus Rotary & Arnold Festival Partner to Provide
Scholarships for Youth Competitors

Steve Sundre, Columbus Rotary scholarship committee chair, has announced the establishment of $2,000 college scholarships in partnership with The Arnold Sports Festival. Nine scholarships were awarded to deserving participants in 2009.

Each year scholarship are awarded to youth competitors by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a Columbus Rotarian as a part of the weekend’s festivities.

“Columbus Rotary is delighted to partner every year with the Arnold Sports Festival in recognizing academic and athletic excellence,” said Sundre. “Since inception, the Arnold Sports Festival has steadily increased its commitment to promising student athletes who strengthen their communities through service and seek opportunities to pursue a college education."

Jim Lorimer, producer of the Arnold Sports Festival, commented, “Governor Schwarzenegger and I originally conceived of The Arnold Sports Festival as an opportunity to celebrate excellence through sports performance. We value our partnership with the Columbus Rotary, and our joint commitment to youth demonstrated through these important scholarships.”

Scott Brown, executive director of Columbus Rotary adds, “The Arnold Sports Festival brings attendees from all over the world to Columbus. As a worldwide service organization, it is natural that Columbus Rotary welcomes these visitors to our community. We are also pleased to be able to recognize scholar athletes for their accomplishments through our scholarship awards.”
