Since 1993 the citizens and businesses of Frankfort and Franklin County have helped the Frankfort Rotary Cub and its co-sponsors, the Frankfort Plant Board and Burch Court Dental award nearly 200 area students with scholarships to pursue training and education beyond high school . 2021 scholarship recipients pictured above.

Over the 29 years of its existence the Frankfort Rotary Youth Fund has provided financial assistance to help area students pursue a wide variety of careers at two- and four-year colleges as well as technical and vocational schools. As the following testimonies attest, our scholarships play an essential role in helping local youth meet their potential. 

Here’s how a few of our recent scholarship recipients
describe the role of these awards in their college and career paths:

"The scholarship provided me a way to kick start my welding career without putting me into a hole of debt. The financial assistance made trade school much more feasible and the additional training allowed me to start my career at a more advanced level."
