LEWISTON — The Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce announces that, through its Employee Scholarship Program, it will present a scholarship of $1,000 to recognize an employee of a chamber member who has shown effort in advancing his or her education at the college level.

The scholarship will be awarded annually. Scholarships will be awarded directly to the recipient with one award made per individual, although the award may be divided to apply to two semesters of college work.

To be eligible, applicants must be employed 20 or more hours by a member in good standing; begin course(s) within six months of receiving the award; be matriculated in college-level coursework applicable toward an associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree; have a high school diploma or equivalent; and be at least 18 years old.

The completed application and employer verification form must be received by May 5. Recipients will be notified by mail or email in early June.
