The Derby/Shelton Rotary Club annually distributes over $14,250 in the form of nine scholarships to worthy students in Derby and Shelton High School. Funds for this worthwhile project are derived from an endowment fund built through the club's annual fund raising auction. There are three scholarships reserved for students in Derby and Shelton High Schools respectively and three others which may be awarded to a student from either school. Scholarship applications are made available from the Guidance Departments at the respective schools early in the year.
