The Botetourt Kiwanis Club awards scholarships to high school seniors from funds generated by the various service activities conducted over each year. For 2021, six separate scholarships were awarded to deserving seniors at BTEC, Lord Botetourt, and James River.
Kiwanis scholarships are given to students who have demonstrated overall good character and a desire to help and serve others. Each recipient must also continue his/her education beyond the first 12 years by attending a college, a technical school, a two-year program, or other similar advanced program.
