110% SCHOLARSHIP

The Geneseo Chamber of Commerce has an established program whereby members can contribute 10% over and above their regular dues to the scholarship endowment fund or to a specific Chamber sponsored event. The Chamber scholarship endowment fund was established in order to give Geneseo High School students the opportunity to apply for money to assist with college expenses. The Geneseo Chamber of Commerce scholarship is awarded to a high school senior who plans to major in business or a business related field and who is interested in returning to Geneseo to work after graduation.

Therefore, if members are interested in supporting a specific Chamber event, such as Trains, Planes & Automobiles or Christmas Walk, they may designate their 10% to go towards that purpose.

Many other Geneseo businesses also support this effort, either by offering their own scholarships, or sponsorships of the Geneseo School District Program. Applying for local scholarships is important for a number of reasons, detailed in the article by Scholarship 360 entitled, How to Win Local Scholarships.

If you’re a high school senior, interested in majoring in business and returning to Geneseo, please see the school counselor or contact the Geneseo Chamber of Commerce at 309-944-2686 for more details and an application!
