The Chamber’s Education and Workforce Development Division focuses on several areas when deciding on recipients of the STEM  scholarships. 


These areas are:

• Need: Family income, other family members in college at the same time, and opportunities to receive financial assistance from other sources will be considered.


• School / Community / Civic involvement: Sports, band, clubs, volunteer activities through church, or other community organizations. Is the student helping others?


• Work Experience: Summer or part-time jobs, with hours worked and type of work, should be a part of the application.


• College ability: Guidance Counselor must confirm applicant’s SAT and/or ACT test scores, as well as grade point average, are acceptable for admission to a four-year institution.
