ANNUAL ROTARY ANTIQUE QUILT SHOW MISSION

 Proceeds from the Rotary Quilt Show provide college scholarships annually for local students through the Rotary Education Assistance Program (REAP). 

In 2010, the Rotary Club of Paducah initiated the idea for the Community Scholarship Program (CSP) as a public-private partnership with strong participation from the Rotary, the City of Paducah, McCracken County Fiscal Court, Paducah Junior College, Inc., partnering high schools, West Kentucky Community and Technical College, and a number of local businesses. The intent of the CSP is to provide gap funding to assist students in attaining a two-year degree or industry certification at West Kentucky Community and Technical College. 

The Community Scholarship Program (CSP) was developed to provide an incentive to McCracken County youth to stay in school and work toward a productive future. The goal of the program is to increase the percentage of McCracken County high school graduates who transition to postsecondary education after high school graduation by helping eliminate the leading barrier to a college education-financial cost. 

Over the past seven years, more than 3,200 students have pledged to consider attending college after high school-more than 85% of the total number of eligible high school students in McCracken County. For many of the first students finding their way to the campus of West Kentucky Community and Technical College, the Community Scholarship Program has been more than a scholarship, it has been the opportunity of a lifetime.
