Pittsfield Rotary Presents Paul Harris Scholarship
08:51AM / Tuesday, June 23, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - The Paul Harris fellows of the Pittsfield Rotary Club were proud to present the Paul Harris Scholarship recently to Brandon Rousseau., a graduate of St. Joseph’s High School. Brandon plans to use the $2,500 award at Endicott College in September. During his four years at St. Joseph’s, Brandon played baseball, football and basketball.
During his senior year he was the captain of the baseball team. He has participated in the Boys and Girls Club Christmas Drive and the Thanksgiving Food Drive. He has also volunteered in many sporting events for children. The scholarship award was presented by Jeff Whitehouse and John O’Brien, both Paul Harris fellows of the Pittsfield Rotary.
The person eligible to receive the Paul Harris Scholarship is someone who has persevered despite personal roadblocks and has given extraordinary assistance to overcome the burdens caused by those barriers. The scholarship may be used for books, tools and other expenses related to college education.
The scholarship named in honor of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary was created through personal contributions of the 30 Paul Harris fellows within the Pittsfield Club. Paul Harris fellows are selected annually by the local club for their “service above self” within the club and the community.
