Chamber Offers Scholarship Opportunity

Two $750 scholarships will be awarded to college-bound seniors in 2017.

The Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce will award two $750 scholarships to graduating seniors (or GED equivalent) who are college bound (or other post-secondary institution). The scholarship will be paid directly to the awardee’s selected post-secondary institution in September.

The applications are judged on their service to community and school, response to essay questions, awards and honors, transcripts, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. The student should emphasize their areas of strength, as the committee will equally consider all candidates.

All applications are due April 24, 2017. Scholarship recipients will be notified by May 3, 2017 via letter, email, or phone.
