Chamber scholarships up for grabs for eligible students

ROCHESTER - The Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce has announced it will be providing some $500 scholarships to eligible students graduating from high school.

Students eligible for the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce scholarship must be graduating seniors in high school who are either employed by or have a parent employed by a company that is a member of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

The recipient will be selected in April and be awarded in June at their school's scholarship ceremony/graduation. The scholarship awarded will be payable to the institution they are attending in their second year of attending a full-time college, university or technical school.

Scholarship guidelines and applications are available at high schools in the region, at the Chamber office located at 18 South Main Street in Rochester or by visiting www.rochesternh.org . The deadline to submit the completed scholarship application is March 26.

Member businesses are also given the opportunity to be named a Chamber Scholarship Champion by becoming a $100 donor to benefit the Chamber Scholarship Fund. This fund enables the Chamber to be able to provide scholarships annually to graduating high school seniors.
