Student Awards - Service Above Self

print this page

Each year, the Middletown Rotary Club presents to one or more high school sophomores or juniors within its jurisdiction (Durham, Haddam, Middlefield, Middletown, and Portland) the Service Above Self Award.  The youth who receives this honor will have performed extraordinary volunteer service for an extended period and exemplify, through his or her words and actions, Rotary's Four Way Test of behavior: Honesty, Fairness, Good Will, and Community Awareness.  A donation is then made in the recipient's name to a charity of their choice.

Anyone in the communities indicated above may nominate one candidate for this award.  (Nominees for relatives will not be accepted).  A Committee of the Middletown Rotary Club reviews the nominations and selects the recipients.  Award recipients receive a plaque and a donation is given to the community service agency of their choice.

For more information, please contact the Middletown Rotary Club.
