Lower Keys Chamber Awards Scholarships

The Board of Directors for the Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce their first-ever Self-Reliance Scholarship Award Winners:

Marathon High School winners were Truman Berger and Carlie Meehan presented by Cathy Hoffman, Chair, Scholarship Committee, LKCC Board of Directors

Key West High School winner was Bopha Rath presented by Cathy Crane, Treasurer, LKCC Board of Directors

Collegiate Academy winner was Trent Halama presented by Denise Bays, Secretary, LKCC Board of Directors

Our Chamber, which serves an area from the 7 Mile Bridge through Stock Island, has grown to a point where we are able to put some funding behind our support for education.  This $1,000 award per student is not an academic one, instead, it acknowledges students that have used their inherent resources to work through exceptional circumstances.

The Chamber’s Committee spent a lot of time reviewing the applications that expressed how the students conquered challenges that impacted their lives and resulted in them being better, stronger young people.  They plan to continue these types of scholarships going forward as a way to give back to the community they serve.
