Columbia Chamber of Commerce Scholarship

Application process is open from January 15th through April 15th of each year. [Application process for 2008 is closed] [One scholarship will be awarded in 2008]

The Columbia Community Foundation's Columbia Chamber of Commerce Scholarship awards scholarship(s) to deserving high school seniors, including any high school senior living within Columbia Township.  A student does not have to be enrolled in Columbia High School, but can be a senior at any accredited school.

Throughout the years, we have had numerous qualified applicants, and have helped many defray their educational cost.  The criterion for the Columbia Chamber of Commerce Scholarship was founded on encouraging youth to participate in their community.  The essay portion of the application focuses on the theme:

"HOW HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR SCHOOL & YOUR COMMUNITY?"

The Columbia Community Foundation feels that youth, who participate in school and community functions, learn the true meaning of "COMMUNITY".  These youth learn what it means to be involved, and are the building blocks for the community's future leadership.
