Awarded Scholarships

2019

Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce Scholarship

Founded in 1957, the Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce is a dynamic organization of 600 members representing 90 local communities. The primary objective of the Chamber is to be an advocate for the local business community and to promote the economic growth and development of all who live and work in the greater Mahwah region.

To support the Chamber’s commitment to ensure a well trained and educated workforce, the Chamber Board of Directors created an endowed scholarship fund in 1998. The Chamber scholarship provides an award each year to an individual who is an employee, child or sibling of a Chamber member. Ramapo College of New Jersey shares a strong partnership with the Chamber and is honored to administer this scholarship program.
