Our Story
A Promise Made — and Kept — Since 2002
When Webb Elementary School was re-designated from a junior high, the Rotary Club of Arlington stepped in to adopt it. As Rotarians engaged with the school community, it became clear that Webb students faced significant disadvantages that made higher education unlikely for many.
The Club made a bold promise: every student who completed 6th grade at Webb would receive a certificate guaranteeing a college scholarship upon high school graduation. Through the Arlington Rotary Foundation, members and community donors built an endowment fund capable of honoring that commitment.
The first recipients received their scholarships in 2002, and the program earned the White House Champions of Change Award that same year. The scholarship has since evolved to include trade and vocational programs and an Academic Excellence Award.
“With the help of the Rotary Club of Arlington, Webb students could achieve high school graduation and pursue college or other post-secondary education.”
