Schaumburg AM Rotary is pleased to announce that a Rotary Foundation Global Grant Scholarship has been awarded to Araha Uday, a Schaumburg High School alumna and 2026 graduate of Stanford University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Economics and a minor in Mathematics.
Our club proudly sponsored Uday for this prestigious award, which supports graduate students pursuing Master’s or PhD programs abroad in fields aligned with Rotary International’s seven areas of focus: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, improving maternal and child health, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment. Scholarships may fund one to four academic years, covering tuition, living expenses, books, and travel.
Schaumburg A.M. Rotarians and grant recipients representing 14 non-profit organizations gathered at Chandler's in Schaumburg on Wednesday, June 10, for the club's Community Grant Awards Breakfast.
This annual event provides funding and recognition that supports our community partners and their initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the greater Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates area and beyond.
These grants help feed families facing food insecurity, empower youth through leadership and skill‑building programs, and provide safety, healing, and hope for women, children, and families impacted by domestic, physical and sexual violence, autism, burn related injuries, and physical disabilities. We also support organizations that walk alongside birth moms, adoptive families, and single moms as they navigate life’s challenges.
Together, we’re making a meaningful difference where it matters most.

It was an awesome morning at Hoffman Estates High School where we celebrated D211 students who are ready to take the next step when it comes to pursuing a skilled trades career.
