The scholarship will support the education and career aspirations of young students who have shown outstanding academic and personal achievements.

Eligible High School seniors must meet the following criteria:

Applicants are required to provide transcripts, two letters of recommendation – one from school personnel and one from a non-relative community member – and a 250 to 300-word essay on the topic "What skills have you gained from your experiences in your current school, and how do you think they will help you in meeting your personal and career goals?" with their application.

Students can obtain applications from their guidance counselors or from the Port Orange South Daytona Chamber of Commerce website, www.pschamber.com

Completed applications can be submitted via email to dcharles@pschamber.com and will be accepted until April 15, 2023. The email subject line should read "Chamber Foundation Scholarship Application." The Scholarship Committee will evaluate applications and the committee may request an interview to determine the recipients.
