Respond to the following prompts:
Describe how you believe the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce benefits Hoover Area Businesses and how you and or your family have benefited from a local business. Incorporate your education and career goals into this statement and if awarded this scholarship, how will it help you attain these goals?
My family and I have both benefited greatly from the support of local businesses over the years. These companies provide jobs for members of our community as well as goods and services that are essential to everyday life. The chamber’s efforts to promote these businesses through various marketing efforts help ensure their success which ultimately benefits all Hoover residents.
I am currently pursuing a degree in business management with hopes of using my education to continue helping local businesses thrive in even more meaningful ways than simply purchasing products or services from them. If awarded this scholarship, it will help me attain my educational goals so that I can one day give back to the community by creating jobs through my own entrepreneurial ventures or working on behalf of other companies within our area.
In addition, attaining this scholarship would show me that hard work truly does pay off—something I feel passionately about teaching young people who may not yet recognize their own potential .
