Trenton Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Opportunity

The Trenton Chamber of Commerce is proud to offer two $500 scholarships to support Trenton students who are pursuing college, a trade, or military service after graduating in 2025.

Applicants Must:

  1. Reside in the 62293 zip code.
  2. Maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) throughout high school.
  3. Plan to attend a four-year college, community college, trade school, or enlist in the military.

Application Requirements:

  • Students must submit a 300- to 500-word essay on the importance of volunteerism.
  • Deadline to apply: March 31, 2025

While academic achievement is important, these scholarships recognize students who go beyond the classroom—those who excel academically while also making a difference through volunteerism at school and in the community. We encourage all eligible students to apply and look forward to supporting the next generation of leaders in our community!
