The Fremont Chamber of Commerce
Building Dreams Post-Secondary Scholarship
Submissions Now Open
The Building Dreams Post-Secondary Scholarship awarded through the Fremont Chamber of Commerce Dollars for Scholars program has officially opened for submissions. This scholarship is available to any person receiving a High School diploma in 2018, regardless of the type of post-secondary education program (four-year or two-year institution) they will attend in 2018/2019. The award is available to the residents of the following communities: Fremont, Union City, Newark, Sunol, and Milpitas, within the state of California. The award selection is based exclusively on a ranked combination of need and merit.
The minimum award will be $500 with a maximum of $5,000. There is a total of $8,000 available for the 2018/2019 scholarship(s) which can be awarded to multiple submitters. The amount of recipients is dependent upon the amount of qualified submitters.
Awards will be presented to recipients (i.e., May awards night). Award checks will be made payable to the institution and will be delivered directly to the institution within the calendar year of the award.
Any student postponing college attendance due to personal circumstances or military service may have up to 1 year to use their award, provided the student properly notifies the chapter President or Treasurer by the deadline for submitting forms. If notice is not given, the request will be handled at the discretion of the board. The 1-year deadline may be extended, at the discretion of the board, due to financial need or military service. If funds are not used within 1 year they will be given to another student. Awards may also be held to accommodate adjustments to the Financial Aid Package, if the chapter is properly notified.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 30, 2018. All applications must be submitted via the Dollars for Scholars website: fremontcc.dollarsforscholars.org
