Description
It is the mission of the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) to promote business and professional services in the greater Mount Airy, Maryland area. To further our mission, the Chamber has allotted $2,500 for a scholarship (“Scholarship”) to be awarded to a select student. An additional scholarship(s) totaling up to $2,500 may be awarded at the discretion of the Chamber. The award is an outright gift, not a loan to be repaid or a salary to be earned by performing certain duties. It will be awarded as a one time payment made directly to the institution of acceptance upon presentment to the Chamber of evidence of registration at a qualified educational institution.* The Scholarship is a one time gift and is not renewable in subsequent years, however, students my reapply regardless of previous award. Though it is expected that a student will be chosen to receive the Scholarship, the Chamber may choose to not make an award in any given year. The Scholarship is not intended merely to further the education of an aspiring student, but to recognize and assist those students who share the vision and values of the Chamber and show potential of contributing to the greater Mount Airy community.

The candidate, however, must be eligible for and committed to entering an institution of higher learning the immediate semester following the announcement of the winner(s). The selection process will be conducted by the scholarship committee of the Greater Mt. Airy Chamber of Commerce. Family members of the Greater Mt. Airy Chamber of Commerce will be considered but without preference over other candidates.
