Continuing a long tradition of supporting local students in the pursuit of further education, the Rotary Club of Kent awarded nearly $10,000 in vocational scholarships to select seniors from the Kent School District.

The young adults who have been chosen seek hands-on skilled vocational careers, providing good paying jobs.

The Rotary Club awarded $1,600 scholarships to each of the following seniors:

• Alexandria Hindman and Rylie Arnold of Kentlake plan to attend South Seattle Community College where they will study culinary arts.
