Investing in the next generation of local leaders
The Chamber Memorial Award celebrates a local student who lives the values our community holds dear: a love of life, a commitment to community, and real local involvement.
The Chamber Memorial Award
The Chamber Memorial Award honors the lives of esteemed Chamber members who have passed. These honorees dedicated their time and energy to the Chamber over many years, and they left our community a better place for their invaluable contributions.
With their memories in mind, the Granby-Simsbury Chamber looks to award a student who personifies their love of life, their commitment to community, and their spirit of local involvement.
Interested students and families are encouraged to contact the Chamber for current eligibility and application details.

How it is funded and awarded
Community generosity makes the award possible, and we celebrate the recipient in front of the members who made it happen.
Funded by ScholarSIP
The scholarship is funded by our ScholarSIP Fundraiser, a community event where local businesses and neighbors come together to raise the dollars that go directly to a deserving local student.
