The Okanogan-Omak Rotary has awarded academic scholarships to local high school seniors for over 30 years. In addition to the academic scholarships, the Okanogan-Omak Rotary also awards vocational scholarships; and for adult students returning to college, scholarships for Wenatchee Valley College students.
 
Scholarship money is raised during the annual Wine & Cheese Event and the Rotary Steak Nights.  Our 2020 Steak Nights and Wine and Cheese events were cancelled due to Coronavirus precautions. However, we plan to host Steak Nights this summer. The first two 2021 Rotary Steak Nights will be held June 17th and July 15th at the Okanogan Fair Grounds. Follow us on Face Book or at our website (https://okanogan-omakrotary.org) for updates on Steak Nights and other events.
