Mobile-West Rotary annually gives scholarship money to high-school seniors attending college in Mobile.  The scholarship was named in honor of Ray Cohn, who was a charter member Mobile-West and was the scholarship chairman for over 30 years.

The scholarship is awarded based on civic involvement, extra-curricular activities, GPA, recommendations and an essay describing how the student incorporates the 4-way test into their life.

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test, a code of ethics adopted by Rotary 11 years later. The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:

Of the things we think, say or do

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

The application is delivered to high school counselors in February of each year.
