Providing Leadership and Opportunity for business
Education Foundation The Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation invites you to attend the Foundations Scholarship Presentation Luncheon on Wednesday, May 22 at 11:45am at the Sheraton Great Valley Hotel. Sponsored by the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union, the luncheon will feature six student finalists that were chosen to take part in the Chamber’s Education Foundation Scholarship and Mentoring Program. Two of the six students will be awarded $1,000 scholarships from the Foundation; the other four will also receive $500 awards for their participation. In addition to the Scholarship Presentation, the Superintendant of the West Chester Area School District, Dr. Jim Scanlon will speak, addressing attendees with a
“State of the School District” update. The Chamber Education Foundation’s goal is to focus on generating scholarships to provide students within our geographic footprint the ability to further develop themselves and their educational opportunities. It is hoped that these scholarships will allow the student to enhance their vocation and stay within our community. This will help the Chamber meet our mission and vision going forward, specifically to develop leaders within our community. Please RSVP to Bethany@gwcc.org or call 610-6964046. Tickets are $25 members/$35 general.
