Chamber Scholarship
 

This year seniors from Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park public and private accredited secondary schools will have an opportunity to compete for six scholarships from the Prince William County - Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce.  Scholarships can be used for educational programs of study leading to a degree or professional certificate beginning during academic year 2003- 2004.

The Prince William County - Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce scholarship requires at least a 2.00 grade point average.  We seek to support those students who traditionally are not selected to receive scholarships due to less competitive grade point averages.  The recipients of these scholarships have developed a plan to continue their education or training and have contributed to our community through volunteer services.

Scholarship Award:  Six (6) $1,000.00 scholarships

Thank you to Micron Technology of Virginia for providing a matching grant!
