Chamber President and CEO and Chamber Foundation Board Member Norma Lansing has announced that those who wish to apply for the 2015 Chamber Community Scholarship Program must submit applications to the scholarship committee by Tuesday, March 31.

The Chamber Foundation of Effingham County will award six scholarships of $1,000 this year. Application for the scholarship is not limited to high school seniors. Any adult seeking a college education can fill out an application specific to adult education. Recipients and sponsors will be recognized at the Chamber’s June 5th First Friday Luncheon.

The Chamber Community Scholarship Program is offered exclusively to chamber members, their employees, and their families.

This program is also a good opportunity for chamber members or anyone who wishes to give a charitable donation to invest in education.  Any member who donates $1,000 to the scholarship program will have a scholarship awarded in the member’s name and presented by the sponsoring business at the annual recognition luncheon. BK Resources and Legacy Harley Davidson are $1,000 Exclusive Scholarship Sponsors and will have scholarships given in their name.

For applications and information, go to effinghamcountychamber.com or contact the Chamber at 217-342-4147.
