Edward B. Knight Rotary Club of Key West Vocational Scholarship

FALL 2024

The Edward B. Knight Rotary Club of Key West Vocational Scholarship is awarded to a resident of Monroe County intending to pursue an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree, Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree, or Post-Secondary Adult Vocational (PSAV) certificate at The College of the Florida Keys. Eligible students must have a complete 2024-25 FAFSA and a minimum overall GPA of 2.5. Please note that children and grandchildren of members of the Rotary Club of Key West are not eligible to apply.

The value of the scholarship is $4,000, with each disbursement based on the student’s rate of pursuit each semester. Although the student must be enrolled as a full-time student in 12+ credits to earn the maximum disbursement each term of $1000, full-time status is not required. Additional installments will be awarded in subsequent semesters enrolled for a period up to four years, until the scholarship is expended or the student graduates.

Funds may be used towards tuition, matriculation fees and lab fees.
