The Chamber is pleased to announce that, in partnership with Robert Bosch, LLC, we will award two $500 scholarships to two 2025 graduating seniors from Dorchester County who will attend an accredited 2 year technical college in South Carolina.
The Chamber's Education and Workforce Division focuses on several areas when deciding on recipients of the scholarships. These areas are:
Academics: We will select a student with at least a 2.5 out of 4.0 GPA average, who might not qualify for as much financial aid:
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: School Counselor must confirm applicant's SAT and or ACT scores, as well as grade point average, are acceptable for admission to a state technical college.
Funds: The student that is awarded the scholarship is required to contact the Chamber with applicable college information (name, address, etc). The Chamber will mail a check directly to the state college.
Application deadline: Friday, March 28, 2025
