Through the generosity of business Members of Chamber630, we are proud to announce a $1000 scholarship will be awarded to Melanie Sartore of Community High School in West Chicago, IL. Her father, who works for S.G. Architects Inc. in Downers told her about the scholarship.
Melanie has been involved in numerous clubs and organizations including Business Professionals of America, National Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America. She is active in sports, non-profit organizations and has worked at various businesses in the area. In her application essay, she stated, “I have been fortunate to work for managers that have taught me some of the many skills that are required to be a successful business manager.”
In 2017, she was chosen for the Student Exchange program to Soria Spain. Melanie intends to study Business Management at a school located in the Midwest.
The Chamber630 scholarship is awarded annually to a Chamber630 Member or their student, furthering their education. Any employee (or their student) of any business that is a Chamber630 Member in good standing is eligible to apply.
