Sorry for the VERY short notice. I just discovered that applications for the annual scholarships from the Corridor 9/495 Area Chamber of Commerce are due today.
The deadline is Friday, March 7th.
Every year, the Chamber awards scholarships to high school seniors. Southborough students are among those eligible to compete. And it isn’t limited to just those planning to attend a 4 year college.
To qualify, applicants must plan to major or minor in a business degree (examples listed are finance, hospitality, entrepreneurship, marketing, communications, technology, law, trades). That can be an Associates or Bachelors degree, but a certificate program at a technical school also meets the criteria.*
Stop by the high school guidance office to pick up a form or click here.
Here are more details:
The Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of MetroWest 2025 scholarship application window is now opened.
Applicant must be a 2025 graduating high school student, pursuing a business degree or trade certification, and resides in one of the core towns of the Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of MetroWest (Westborough, Northborough, Southborough, and Shrewsbury).
Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership, work and/or internship experience, essay, financial need, and appearance of application.
Application deadline is Friday, March 7, 2025. Applications postmarked after the deadline date or not fully completed when submitted will not be considered. Completed application must be mailed or delivered to: Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of MetroWest, 30 Lyman Street, Suite 6, Westborough MA 01581.
Since the establishment of scholarship program in 1986, the Chamber has awarded over $412,000 in scholarships. Thanks to the generous support of the business community, the scholarships are made possible through proceeds from the Chamber’s Annual School/Business Partnership Golf Tournament, along with contributions from the Robert J. Lemieux Charitable Trust, individual donation from Leo Casey of B2B CFO, and Howard Grossman of Grossman Development Group of the Lakeway Commons Scholarship fund. . .
Please call the Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of MetroWest at 508-836-4444 on any questions about the scholarship.
*Years ago, the Chamber’s scholarships also offered the option of covering trade tools for those headed straight into the workforce, but that changed at some point.
Here’s an easy way to stay up to date with Southborough happenings.
