The Education Committee of the St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce awards scholarships once a quarter to adults seeking to improve their earnings and job opportunities.  Scholarships may be used for a number of worthwhile programs, courses or certifications.  Short one-day, weekend or lecture programs may qualify.  Extended programs including college courses may also qualify.

The Chamber Scholarship award provides financial support to eligible individuals who are seeking to gain or improve career skills.  It is the intent of the Chamber that the improved skills will assist the individual to increase their earnings which will ultimately be reinvested in the community, strengthening our local economy.

Eligibility requirements call for residency in the Greater St. Cloud Area, minimum three years of residency, U.S. Citizen or legal alien, over 25 years of age, high school graduate or GED, and pursuing a planned course of work that is career related. 

In addition to the Chamber Scholarship Awards, the Chamber also provides, at no charge, a Scholarship Counseling Program, served by an educational scholarship Counselor in conjunction with the Education Foundation Osceola County.  The Counselor will advise and assist adults in career financing opportunities.
