Greater Woodland Park Chamber FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
The Greater Woodland Park Chamber Foundation’s Wagon Boss Scholarship award may be up to two or more scholarships.  Our goal is to ensure $5,000 for each scholarship.  It is the desire of the Scholarship Committee to award one scholarship to a senior from Woodland Park High School and one from Cripple Creek-Victor High School who best meet the following selection criteria outlined in the attached application form.  The Scholarship Committee has the final decision on awards.  The students will be judged based on the following criteria:
 
                        Essay                                                35 points   
                        Service to Community/Activities           35 points   
                        Academic Achievement                       20 points   
                        Career Goals                                      10 points                    
                       
One payment will be made directly to the college/trade school/university where the student will attend.  Payment will be made in by the first semester and applied to tuition ONLY.  The payment will be made by July 18, 2025.   The student/students who win must provide proof of enrollment for the first semester with the correct address/department of the college/trade school/university where the payments should be sent.  The Chamber must receive the student’s ID number by June 15th.   The winner is obligated to use the scholarship the same school year they received it and or make arrangements between the College and Chamber for it to be carried to a 2nd year for tuition.  Any lapse in college/university attendance will result in forfeiture of the scholarship.  Any money that is forfeited will become property of the Chamber Foundation and will not be awarded during this scholarship period.
