International Scholarships

In partnership with the Olive Tree Foundation for Education the Rotary Club of Port St Lucie assists in providing education scholarships to students in Peru and Haiti. The Olive Tree Foundation through its founders, Rotarians Dr. William Olivos and Susan Olivos, husband and wife, provide funds for students studying in the areas of optometry, nursing, teaching and psychology in the mountainous communities in Peru. The goal is to educate the locals who will then remain in and serve their own community's needs.  

       Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)

 

Each year the Rotary Club of Port St Lucie provides scholarships for two teens to attend Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly. At RYLA they learn fundamentals of leadership and ethics; develop communication, problem solving, and conflict management skills; and learn the meaning of community and global citizenship.
