Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club - Stillwater, Minnesota

STRIVE is a program where rotarians and non-rotarians mentor high school students in the lower part of their senior class with emphasis on preparing them for their post graduation opportunities and responsibilities while working with them to improve their grade point in their senior year.  Our goal is to motivate eligible Stillwater High School seniors to discover their own strengths and talents so as to increase their personal and academic achievement.  Further incentives are offered through scholarships for students to further their education.

The Scholarship committee reserves the right to modify these qualifications if necessary

• Maintain maximum number of STRIVE classes
• Improve GPA throughout the senior year

• Attend and participate in all Regularly scheduled STRIVE Meetings
• Accept the STRIVE Challenge by signing a commitment form.
• Report to class on time.
• Bring appropriate learning materials to class.

• Treat other STRIVE members and mentors with respect and dignity.
• Honor requests of the teacher.

Stillwater Sunrise Rotary members will schedule STRIVE meetings approximately every three weeks at Stillwater High School throughout the year with students who accepted the STRIVE Challenge.  Rotarians want to stay updated about everyone’s progress.  These meetings will be approximately 60 minutes and Lunch will be provided!

A special Banquet to recognize all students and parents/guardians involved in the STRIVE program will be sponsored by the Stillwater Rotary Club in the Spring.
