Only one Sophomore will be selected to attend the very prestigious HOBY Leadership Seminar at no-cost as a guest of the Brooke County Rotary. However, if students who are selected in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place to attend are willing to pay the registration cost themselves or have a sponsor who is willing to pay the $350 registration fee, we may send up to 4 representatives. So, when you apply, please plan ahead and know if you would be willing to cover the cost of the seminar either yourself or through a sponsor should you be selected in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th position to attend. I will need to ask you that and you must have an answer once the recipient is selected. Some possible sponsors might include your church, a civic club or organization, fire department, chamber of commerce, parent’s employer, your own savings, or even Grandma. You will need to secure a sponsor that will help you with the finances to attend if you are selected in position 2 – 4.

The student selected to be the HOBY recipient will attend a 3 day leadership seminar at the University of Charleston in Charleston, WV June 8 – 11, 2017. Absence will be school approved if we happen to still be in session at that time.
