Education Committee
The primary focus for this committee is offering several scholarships to deserving students through the Chamber as a way of “Promoting the Advancement of Education to Career”.

Five college scholarships are currently available to high school seniors throughout Christian County. These scholarships are being offered by five local colleges that have graciously agreed to fund scholarships to high school seniors who have maintained a “C” average and meet the entrance requirements of the college to which they are applying .

The colleges and the awards they are offering are as follows:
Springfield College in Illinois - Half tuition for freshman and sophomore years of an associate's degree program.

Benedictine University — Half tuition for junior and senior years of a bachelor's degree program.
Lincoln Land Community College — Tuition and fees for two semesters.
Richland Community College Tuition for two semesters.
University of Illinois at Springfield — Tuition for two semesters.

Applicants may apply for only one award and those who reach the final phase of selection will be interviewed by a panel of judges.

Applications are due by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 15, 2008 at the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce office, located at 108 West Market Street in Taylorville.
