Rotary Student of the Month
Rotarians invite two students, one male and one female, to the Club's weekly meetings. Students are assigned on a monthly basis and attend each meeting during that month where they will be given time to introduce themselves to the group. Meetings are held at the Cumberland Country Club, 10200 Country Club Road, NE, Cumberland, MD, every Tuesday from 12-1 p.m. Selected students are positive representatives of their schools. In addition to academic achievement, selected students also display characteristics of good citizenship and school/community involvement.
Student Salute Program
The Allegany County Student Salute Program is a collaborative effort to recognize high school students who excel in the classroom. Those students identified as exceptional academic achievers and who intend to enroll in Frostburg State University earn the opportunity to qualify for a one-year full scholarship or a $500 scholarship. WCBC radio station airs a Student Salute each weekday and students' accomplishments will be recognized on the air sometime between November and April. The Allegany County Chamber of Commerce Education Committee will screen all applicants and select three scholarship recipients who will earn Frostburg State University scholarships and be recognized publicly at a meeting of the Board of Education.
