Each year, the Roselle Arts and Culture Foundation helps assemble the annual Rose Ambassador Scholarship and Event.

The purpose of the Rose Ambassador Scholarship Event is to offer local high school students an annual opportunity to compete for college scholarships totaling over $5,000. Our 2025 event includes a new scholarship: the Maryann Grygiel Outstanding Community Service Award for juniors or seniors with a history of exceptional service and a grade point average of 2.5 or above.

Congratulations to the 2025 competitors!

The 2025 Rose Ambassador Scholarship Event was held at the Lake Park High School West Campus Auditorium (500 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.) on February 7, 2025 at 7:00p.m.
