The Botetourt County Chamber of Commerce 2021 Scholarship Opportunity
DALEVILLE — In support of our workforce of tomorrow, the Chamber each year awards three scholarships to graduating seniors: one each from James River and Lord Botetourt High Schools and at the Botetourt Technical Education Center. Each recipient will receive a $1,000 scholarship paid directly to the institution they are attending at the beginning of the school year.
To be considered the applicant must be graduating in the spring of 2021, have a cumulative GPA of 2.5,
participated in school and community activities, possess two letters of recommendation and plan on
attending an accredited institution.
The scholarship application can be found on both the Lord Botetourt and James River Guidance websites
along with the Chamber website. Applications must be returned with all supplemental information by
May 1st to the Botetourt Chamber at P.O. Box 413, Daleville, VA 24083.
Education and Workforce Development is one of the Chamber’s five areas of focus. We are pleased
to have Lawrence Companies, also a Vision Partner sponsor of this area of focus, Rocky Forge Wind, and Roanoke Cement, A Titan America Business, as sponsors for the scholarships. The Chamber supports the educational development of the County’s workforce involving businesses at all levels of education.
Building the talent supply pipeline by working with public schools K-12, local colleges, and institutions of higher education ensures that students can graduate with the skills that employers are looking
for in the next generation of new hires.
