Twelve Scholarships, $120K, and a Student’s Breakthrough | Hartford News
Description
This year, the Stamford Rotary Club shattered its own record by awarding twelve scholarships instead of ten, doling out a whopping $120,000 to help high schoolers from middle- and working-class families chase their college dreams. Up from just three tiny $250 awards six decades ago, the club’s generosity has grown alongside soaring tuition costs—especially at private schools. One standout recipient, Tamryn Lee Williams, now has her Winston-Salem State tuition fully covered, and she credits the scholarship—and her family—for transforming her life. Even her mentor, Evie DeRosa, saw her blossom, calling the award a true lifeline.
