Applications for the 2024 Rose Festival Court Program presented by Unitus Community Credit Union are now available on the Rose Festival website. Members of the 2024 Court will receive a $3,500 scholarship for higher education provided by The Randall Group, and serve as ambassadors of the Portland Rose Festival to their local high schools, the Greater Portland-Metro area and beyond.
The Rose Festival Court program provides unique experiences to each member that include varied community outreach, networking opportunities, one-on-one mentorship with a top female executive from Unitus Community Credit Union, and a complete travel wardrobe including shoes and accessories to prepare them for life beyond high school.
The application process culminates with each candidate participating in a Community Interview in early-February and announcements that take place throughout the month of March. Court Members are selected based on a number of qualifications including community and school involvement, academic achievement and public speaking ability.
