The Champaign West Rotary Vocational Scholarship program recognizes outstanding high school seniors who are studying in various vocational and technical subjects.  Champaign West works with teachers from both Champaign Central and Champaign Centennial High Schools to select 9 finalists from each school who will have the opportunity to receive a $400 scholarship that will be used toward college expenses during their Freshman year (3 such scholarships are given out within each school).  All 18 finalists receive a Certificate of Accomplishment from Champaign West Rotary and a gift bag of items provided by Champaign West Rotarians.
