Harold Alexander Scholarships

Each year our club provides 5 or more graduating seniors from Petaluma high schools needed scholarship monies. The scholarships are awarded to students who show both academic achievement and service to their community. The Harold Alexander Scholarships also have provided awards to students who may be looking at alternative education in preparation for their career such as in the vocational arts. We have also recognized each year one student who has overcome particular difficulties along the road to their High School graduation.

Two of our current Rotarians, Johnny Strong and Forrest Frey have been honored with Scholarships awarded in their name. John Strong, a Past President of our Club and Past District Governor has been involved not only in our local projects but has been instrumental in bring about many international projects around the globe. Forrest Frey is one of our charter members and also one of our Past Presidents. He embodies the spirit of Rotary in giving club service.

Our Million Dollar Golf tournament helps to fund these scholarships. Petaluma Valley Rotarians may attain 3 levels for giving to the Petaluma Valley Rotary Scholarship Fund: Harold Alexander Fellow ($300) Harold Alexander Gold Fellow ($600) and Harold Alexander Platinum Fellow ($1000).
