About the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce Educational Foundation
Our Educational Foundation continues to give scholarships – with your help – year after year. We award scholarships for continuing education, vocational as well as academic. We make scholarship awards to adults as well as to graduating high school seniors.
The Brick Chamber gave $32,500 in scholarships to 22 deserving students in 2018. and then repeated in 2019 with over $35,000. Since the inception of the scholarship program, we’ve exceeded $350,000 in awards to students of all ages who are pursuing their dreams.
Why do we do it? For several reasons:
• Education is an investment in our future. A prepared, educated workforce is essential for our community to thrive and prosper.
• Educational support is a wonderful way for the business community to give back to the local consumers who support our members throughout the year.
• Our members and their employees, AND the children of either are eligible for scholarships!
• All graduating/graduated students from both Brick high schools and the Ocean County Vocational Technical School are also eligible for scholarships.
