For 15 years the Rotary Club of Juneau has hosted a wine auction to raise funds for the University of Alaska Southeast scholarships to be awarded annually. In collaboration with UAS, an endowment fund was established and has continued to grow over the years. The $35,000 contribution made will bring the endowment up to a sustainable level that should generate enough earnings to issue $6,000 in annual scholarships to UAS students.
