To qualify, the graduating seniors must be from Dorchester County or graduating seniors of member business owners or employees that are in good standing with the Chamber.
“These scholarships are proof that our member businesses, through the Chamber of Commerce, have an eye on the future of our community,” said Marshall Connor, Assistant Vice President of Education and Economic Development at Trident Technical College. “So many qualified students apply each year and those who are selected are always extremely grateful for the opportunity. We are thrilled to continue offering this to our graduating seniors!” Connor also serves as the vice chair of the Chamber’s Education and Workforce Development Division, which focuses on several areas when deciding on recipients of the scholarships, including academics, expression of need, community and civic involvement, work experience, and college ability.
