The SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce Education Committee has been awarding scholarships to high school seniors for the past 22 years. We currently award a minimum of five $1,000 scholarships to students who will be attending either a four-year college or a two-year community, technical or business college. 

 

The scholarships are awarded based on the following criteria:

 

·          2009 graduating high school senior who resides full-time in one of the cities served by the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce (Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria).

·          A student’s dedication to and involvement in work, community, school, place of worship and/or family with an emphasis on generosity of spirit – not GPA or class rank.

·          Enrollment beginning during the 2009-10 academic year at a 4-year college/university or a 2-year technical, community or business college.

 

Applications must be turned in to the student’s high school Career Center or they can be mailed to the SouthWest Chamber of Commerce and postmarked by March 20, 2009. Finalists will be contacted to schedule a personal interview with our Education Committee sometime in April and scholarships will be awarded in May, 2009.
