Interested applicants can read more details in the application form here.
The deadline has been extended to April 10th for Rotary to receive applications. But, students must go through their guidance departments. So, I’d advise not waiting until the 10th to submit their part of the application!*
*Updated (3/13/23 9:56 am): The initial deadline I was given was April 1st. Rotary provided an updated form this morning, reflecting their decision to extend the deadline to give students more time to apply. The application specifies that forms must be submitted through students’ high school guidance counselors, who “must complete last part of form and ensure that final completed form is delivered to the Rotary Club of Southborough no later than 04/10/2023.”
