Dallas Rotarians Enabling Achievement and Mentoring Scholars

These mentors help students learn how to recognize, develop and utilize their leadership, scholarship and service capabilities while embracing the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self” as they prepare to become successful and productive citizens.
Developing these students into leaders will enrich the lives of countless others and result in stronger and more cohesive communities. Students that participate in the DREAM Team mentoring program are encouraged to apply for DREAM Team scholarship awards, which provide $8,000 a year towards a college education for up to two Woodrow Wilson High School seniors each year as long as they maintain the required GPA.
