Career and Technical Education Scholarship

The Montgomery Co. Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Foundation Board of Directors fully supports our youth in continuing their education at an associate's level or a professional certification.  Preference for this scholarship will be given to those careers where we find local employee shortages.  We will give a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 ($500 for fall and $500 for spring).  Funds will be sent to New River Community College for application to the student's account.  The funds can be used for textbooks.  
Criteria:  The recipient of this scholarship will demonstrate proficiency in career and technical education, and obtain a reference from one teacher from Career and Technical Education.  Each Applicant will have been accepted to New River Community College and show appropriate documentation.  "Please write a 150 word essay (separate sheet) on why a career path in career and technical trades is important to you and your community.  Please include why this scholarship is important to you."
If you would like a copy of the application, please see Mrs. Combs in guidance.  The deadline for consideration is noon on February 28, 2019.
