The Rotary Club of Downers Grove is now accepting applications for their annual Charles Dickerman Music Scholarships.  Each year since 2009 the Rotary Club presents scholarship checks to deserving high school seniors who reside in Downers Grove or the District 99 attendance area. 

This year, both the number and value of the awards have increased. Up to six scholarships will be awarded, including a Grand Award of $5,000, plus up to five additional cash awards of at least $2,000.
