Posted on May 09 2017
One of the the Saipan Chamberof Commerce’s goals are to promote and enable postsecondary education and to publicly acknowledge and reward the academic and extracurricular accomplishments of deserving students. We recognize that the cost of postsecondary education is substantial. It is for this reason that the Saipan Chamber of Commerce continues to award scholarships every June at its general membership meeting in the amount of $12,000.
The Educational Scholarship Fund offers a one-time monetary award in the following categories: Four high school scholarships, one college scholarship, and one Pellegrino vocational scholarship.
Last year the Chamber received 53 applications from both public and private schools students. This year, the Chamber hopes to increase that number. Completed applications and accompanying materials must be submitted by the required deadline. Application will not be accepted thereafter. Eligibility requirements must be met. After review of application packet, the applicant may be selected for a personal interview with the panel of judges selected by the committee.
Hard copies of the Chamber scholarship applications are available at the Chamber office and will also be delivered to schools. Chamber scholarship applications are also available for download on our website: www.saipanchamber.com. Applicants are encouraged to complete the application and submit them on or before the deadline of 5pm, Wednesday, May 10, 2017, at our office in the Marianas Business Plaza, third floor, Suite 315. Scholarships will be awarded at the monthly general membership meeting on June 7, 2017. For more information call the Chamber office at (670) 234-7150 or email administrator@saipanchamber.com.
The Saipan Chamber of Commerce is the largest non-profit private business organization in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. The Chamber works to promote and protect the business, economic, and civic interest, general health and welfare, of our islands.
