For over 20 years, local EMS volunteers provided emergency medical services to residents of San Saba County. When dissolved in 2015, the volunteers set aside funds in a memorial scholarship fund to provide scholarships for graduates pursuing medically related careers. The Rotary Club proudly gives these $1250 scholarships in appreciation of the efforts of those who provided local EMS services.
