Palatine Chamber Group Offers College Scholarship Opportunity
The Women in Business Advisory Forum will be awarding two $1000 scholarships.
The Women in Business Advisory Forum (WIBAF), a networking group of the Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce, is pleased to be able to award two $1000 scholarships this year. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide non-renewable awards to be used for college tuition, fees, books, or supplies. Two awards will be given: one to a student from Fremd High School and one to a student from Palatine High School.
To apply, students can visit www.palatinechamber.com and select WIBAF Scholarship under the Chamber tab. Required materials include the completed 2015 scholarship application form, a non-certified copy of the student’s transcript, and two letters of recommendation. The application form includes questions about business coursework, clubs and activities, service and volunteer roles, and a choice of short answer questions.
Funds for the scholarship were raised through a wine-tasting fundraiser, prize drawings at monthly networking lunches, water and pop sales at the Chamber’s Rockin’ the Blocks event, and through a raffle offered at the annual Palatine Area Chamber of Commerce Key to Success Awards Dinner.
