The purpose of the Rose Ambassador Scholarship Event is to offer local high school students an annual opportunity to compete for college scholarships totaling over $5,000. The event consists of six areas: application and essay, personal interview, casualwear, talent, formalwear, and Q&A. Contestants must be high school students and either live in Roselle or be a student at Lake Park High School. Each year, the Rose Ambassador and Rose Ambassador Court participate in the annual Rose Parade and are involved in other community events over the course of the year.
