The governing board of the Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission believes that our region’s future is enhanced by wise and forward-looking stewardship of the land, natural resources, and public institutions, as well as thoughtful investment in the next generation.
The program was established to encourage and recognize high school students pursuing career and life choices that align with the vision and values of vibrant, diverse, and sustainable communities, as articulated in our regularly updated Regional Plan.
TRORC strongly believes that academic performance should be one of many factors in awarding scholarships. TRORC will also consider a student’s record in community service-oriented activities and volunteer work; engagement with civic institutions; activities that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion; leadership skills; innovative thinking and problem solving; examples of obstacles overcome; as well as entrepreneurship and resourcefulness.
