District 5710 funds a Rotary Global Grant Scholarship every two years. The District interviews were held in Lawrence, KS, on Saturday February 8th. We selected one scholarship winner, Ms. Anna McCartan from Leawood, KS.
Anna just finished her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry/Data Science and graduated from Notre Dame University in Indiana. Anna will depart in late August to pursue a MS degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University College Cork in Cork, Ireland. Anna will represent District 5710 very well.
We finished the online application for Anna’s global grant scholarship in the RI system during the first week of May and received final approval on May 27th. We followed up with requested information about our bank account and should be receiving the money from RI soon.
Thanks to District 5710 leadership for funding the Global Grant Scholarship program. It is always exciting to have an excellent scholar studying abroad and representing District 5710.
