High school seniors can take advantage of winter break to apply for a scholarship from the Corridor Nine Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber will award $11K in scholarships this spring. They are encouraging Southborough students to compete.
Information new to me – students don’t have to be continuing to college to receive assistance.
Applications are also available for students who will be entering their career/trade directly after graduation or pursuing a certificate program to that end. The award can be used for a certificate program or to purchase tools.
The submission deadlines are January 14th. So it’s getting late to pick up an original copy. Fortunately, Corridor Nine emailed me forms I can share.
