For the past 7 years, with the exception of Covid, Rotary Club of Cayucos has awarded three to four $1,000 scholarships annually to students majoring in music at Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo. This vocational service project is carried out in honor of our club mentor, Past District Governor, Chungsam Doh & aptly named the ‘Chungsam Doh Music Scholarship Fund’. The aim is to support students desiring to pursue music as a career.
Cuesta students must meet a set of criteria and have to undergo an audition to apply for Rotary Club of Cayucos’ music scholarships. Each student would have to perform their own recital to be selected. It’s a delight to watch each performance, as the students are talented.
This Rotary Year, District Governor Scott Philips had a chance to watch the recital, and opportunity to share Rotary with students at Cuesta College. District Governor Scott Philips also did the honors and awarded three scholarships to Regan Rowin, Daniel Gomez and Joseph Montano at Cuesta College.
