FAQs

Who is responsible for payment?

Local Rotary Clubs pay $250 per Student and the Rotary District matches $250 per Student

What grade should the student be in to attend?

We accept students who are incoming high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.  We do not accept incoming freshmen, students who have attended SFTL previously or seniors who graduated from high school before or in June 2024. Incoming Juniors and Seniors receive preference over Sophomores.

How many students can our club sponsor?

Rotary clubs are welcome to send as many students as they can financially sponsor. There is no limitation. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Attendance is capped at 80 students.

What if we have club money to sponsor a student but no applicants/viable candidates? Or vice versa?

No worries! Every year we have been able to play “match maker” for clubs to work together to sponsor students.

Can my child/grandchild or other family member attend? Can they participate even if they do not live in North Carolina?

Yes, they can. Family members of Rotarians, such as children or grandchildren, are eligible to attend. In fact, we encourage family members so they can influence other participants with their observed Rotary knowledge.
