🎓About Our Scholarship Program:
Each year we aim to award at least one $750 Scholarship to each of the four school districts in the Chamber’s service area – Solanco, Penn Manor, Lampeter-Strasburg, and Pequea Valley.
Our scholarships are different because:
- They help young entrepreneurs start or grow a business
- The money awarded can be used to purchase equipment or technology, towards businesses licenses or fees, or courses/workshops
- Applicants do not need to be pursuing higher education to qualify
- Applicants can also be homeschooled, cyber or charter – just apply under the district in which you reside
We awarded $2000 to graduating seniors in 2025 and hope to continue growing our scholarship program in the years to come!
