Back Issue: April 1, 2005 | Students from the United States and six other countries received scholarships from members of Rotary clubs in District 7620, which includes the Washington, D.C., metro area and Central Maryland, on March 9 during Rotary Day 2005. Many Rotarians also volunteered to conduct mock job interviews at the Career Center or took a campus tour. Dr. Robert Shriner, chair of the Rotary District 7620 Scholarship Committee, spoke of his organization’s efforts to increase financial assistance for new and prospective international students. “Some students’ greatest hurdle is not getting accepted to Gallaudet, but paying to come to the U.S. to start their education,” he explained. He said that Rotary International wants to enlist the help of Rotary clubs in other countries to help their students physically get to Gallaudet and start paying tuition costs. Senior Kiombo Nsumbu (fourth from left) gave a personal example of how international students can benefit from these efforts. “I am grateful for Rotary’s support, and I plan to repay it some day,” he said. “Rather than paying back in money, I want to return the favor by using my education to help deaf people back home in the Congo.”  |
