Humble Rotary Presents Scholarships To Four Way Test Essay Contest Winners
(Humble,Texas)(May 20, 2015)
Humble Rotary awarded three scholarships to winners of the annual Four Way Test Essay contest. Winners were Madison Nelson, first, $2000, second Aisha Khan, $1500 and third, Courtney Nguyen, $1000. All of these graduating seniors attend Atascocita High School. Their funds must be used for tuition, fees and books.
Sixty seniors submitted an essay addressing “How I apply high ethical standards using Rotary’s Four-Way Test.” The Four-Way Test is the corner stone of ethical practice among all members of Rotary International.
Pam McNair, education committee chair, indicated that the objective of the contest was to promote Rotary’s ethical standards expressed in Rotary’s Four-Way Test. The test consists of the following questions: Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
More than 60 years ago, in the midst of the Great Depression, a U.S. Rotarian devised a simple, four-part ethical guideline that helped him rescue a beleaguered business. The statement and the principles it embodied also helped many others find their own ethical compass. Soon embraced and popularized by Rotary International, The Four-Way Test today stands as one of the organization’s hallmarks.
