2025 Rotary Champions Ceremony

The Rotary Champions program awards scholarships to outstanding scholar-athletes from high schools throughout the Pikes Peak Region. Students are nominated by their schools based on their academic, athletic and community service accomplishments. Every year, recognition is given to approximately 400 outstanding scholar-athletes from high schools throughout the Pikes Peak Region. From the hundreds of nominees, twenty-five medallion winners are selected, one for each of the recognized sports. The Rotary Champion Scholar-Athlete of the Year, which includes a $10,000 college scholarship, is awarded to the top male and female nominees. Over $310,000 in scholarships have been awarded since 1985. In addition, one student is chosen as the Ian Weikel "Service Above Self" winner for their dedication to Community Service in the Pikes Peak Region. They receive $1,000 to donate to the Charity of their Choice.
