Chamber announces new scholarships
The Greene County Chamber of Commerce will award the Dr. Nancy I. Davis Memorial Leadership Scholarship and the Dr. Nancy I. Davis Memorial Scholarship for Educational Support in memory of the late Dr. Nancy I. Davis this coming May.
The scholarships were established to honor the memory of Dr. Nancy I. Davis who was an educator and advocate for education. In 2016 and 2017, the annual GreeneScene Road Rally, presented exclusively by Fox Ford of Waynesburg, raised funds for the scholarship awards.
Applicants will be required to submit a narrative on how they have demonstrated leadership in education and a list of community involvement along with verification of enrollment. Applicants will also be interviewed by a panel of qualified judges. The scholarship program is open to any Greene County resident who is enrolled or accepted in an undergrad or grad program. Applicants will be required to provide verification of enrollment in an accredited undergrad or grad program and provide a narrative on their leadership involvement along with a listing of their local community involvement.
A second scholarship was established to aid teachers in their classrooms by providing scholarships to aid a particular project or need that will be used to enrich the learning experience in the classroom.
Applications are available to be printed directly from the chamber website at www.greenechamber.org or by contacting the chamber office at 724-627-5926 or info@greenechamber.org.
Completed applications must be submitted by 3:30 p.m. on Monday, April 1. The winners will be announced in early May and the Scholarships presented at the chamber’s monthly general membership luncheon on May 22 at the Benedum Dining Hall at Waynesburg University.
