Paducah, KY – The Paducah Rotary Club has raised half a million dollars for its Rotary Community Scholarship Program. The Paducah Sun reports the organization plans to raise that amount annually for four more years to pay tuition costs for local students to attend the West Kentucky Community & Technical College. Making their first goal ensures current eighth-graders now have a chance to qualify for the new scholarships. To qualify, students must attend McCracken, Paducah, St. Mary, or Community Christian Academy schools, have at least a 2.5 GPA, 95% attendance, and no major disciplinary problems.
