PALMS WEST COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
2013 ANNUAL COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
The Palms West Community Foundation is pleased to announce that fifteen scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors from local area high schools in April. There will be one scholarship awarded to one student from each of the following schools—Royal Palm Beach High School, Wellington Community High School, Seminole Ridge High School, John I. Leonard High School, Palm Beach Central High School, Lake Worth High School, Forest Hill High School, Park Vista High School, Suncoast High School, Glades Central High School and Pahokee High School. Then, there will be two scholarships awarded “at large”, which will cover students that live in the chamber served area, but attend a high school outside the geographic area—like a magnet school, private school or a student who is home-schooled. In addition, there will be two more “at large” scholarships awarded to a senior who is planning on attending Palm Beach State College at the Lake Worth campus or a senior planning on going into the medical field.
The application and criteria information for applying for one of these scholarships is located at the following link: http://www.cpbchamber.com/menu5/scholarships/. The deadline for submission of an application is Monday, March 4th. All applicants must be available for an interview with the education committee on Monday, March 18th at the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce office, located at 13901 Southern Blvd. in Loxahatchee between 4:00p.m. and 6:00p.m. The scholarships will be awarded to the winners at the Chamber luncheon on Monday, April 8th.
