The Rotary Club of Louisville provides $250,000 to fund an endowed scholarship at Jefferson Community & Technical College. The scholarship effort is an ambitious program to provide two-year college scholarships to all qualifying students at at-risk Louisville area high schools. The program launched with the 2012 freshmen class at Western High School. Fund-raising continues with the goal of placing the Rotary Promise Scholars program in four area high schools.

Carrollton Land Acquisition

North American Stainless, Carroll County Fiscal Court and the Carroll County Education Foundation, recognizing the critical need for a modern dedicated college campus in Carroll County, each donated $100,000 to fund the purchase of 30-acres of land in Carroll County, across from General Butler State Park. Once the building is funded, the land will be home to the state-of-the-art Carrollton Campus.
