Sunrise Rotary Scholarships

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise was honored to present scholarships to five outstanding Marco Island Academy students at Senior Awards Night on May 20.

Sue Purvis, Rotary Interact Advisor, presented scholarships to Helen Totten, Jessica Vorderstrasse, Michele Acosta, Zack Antaramian, and Lily Tessarzik.

These scholarships are awarded in memory of former Sunrise Rotarians: Richard S. Shanahan, Richard Kaplan, James Pearson, Jack Patterson and T. Wayne Purvis.

At Lely High School, two Trevor Smith Foundation Scholarships were presented to Leslie Guzman Meija and Vania Antonio-Carillo by Sunrise Rotarian Wes Smith and Linda Smith, brother and mother of the late Trevor Smith.

Sunrise Rotary has awarded local high school graduates over $747,000 in scholarships over a number of years.

Congratulations to all these deserving students as we wish them continued success in their future studies.
