Scholarships are available for technical school and 4-year college bound students
The Chamber is pleased to announce that, in partnership with Robert Bosch, LLC, we will award two $1,000 renewable scholarships to two 2023 graduating seniors from Dorchester County who will attend a four-year college or university in South Carolina with a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) related major.
The Chamber’s Education and Workforce Development 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 3.5 out of a 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: 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.
