Wilmington Cape Fear Rotary Club Endows Scholarship Fund for CFCC Students

The Cape Fear Rotary Club has established a $30,000 endowed scholarship fund that will provide financial support to Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) students. The scholarship will benefit students with financial need who have attended New Hanover County high schools. Scholarship applicants must have a minimum 2.5 grade point average, and the recipient will be selected by the Cape Fear Rotary Club scholarship committee in consultation with the CFCC Foundation office.

The CFCC Foundation is proud to partner with the Wilmington Cape Fear Rotary Club who have generously supported CFCC students since 1997. The rotary club has previously donated over $65,000 in annual scholarships at CFCC, and has given over $600,000 in the past 23 years to worthy causes in the Wilmington area.

“Cape Fear Rotary has been a long-term supporter of Cape Fear Community College. Four of our members are past presidents of the Cape Fear Community College Board of Trustees. We have financed two scholarships for many years, “says David Sweyer, current club president, “and three years ago our board agreed to an endowment of $30,000 which we recently completed payment. The endowment is to provide scholarships for needy students, hopefully forever.”

Cape Fear Rotary Club provides a way for local business leaders to give back to their community through fundraising and community service. Rotary is the world’s first service organization, dating back to 1905. The organizations motto is, “Service Above Self.” There are currently over 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide.
