Scholarship Program
The Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce has a proud annual tradition of awarding scholarships to graduating high school
seniors who are interested in furthering their post-high school education. Each year the chamber offers one or more
scholarships for those who are planning to attend a business college, two-year college, four-year university, or to a
graduating high school senior who is planning to attend a vocational, technical, or trade school. NEW this year! You can donate online to our Scholarship Program by

Eligibility
To be eligible for these scholarships, applicants must reside in the Village
of Woodridge through their date of graduation from high school or have a
parent or guardian who is a member of the Woodridge Area Chamber of
Commerce. The application period runs from January through the end of
February with scholarship winners recognized at a scholarship breakfast in
May.
Testimonial
“Receiving this scholarship meant so much to me. It is nice to know that
hard work in and out of the high school classroom really pays off, and that
it does not go unrecognized. I have been able to put the money from this
scholarship toward my college education which is something I highly value. It gives me motivation to get every advantage possible out of this
next chapter of my life.”
Kathryn Wylly, 2012 Woodridge Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Recipient
