The Hoover Area Chamber’s 2016-2017 Lila Parks Scholarships, started in 1997, will be awarded in May of this year, with a total of $6,000.00 available. Applications are available in the Chamber office, or on the Chamber web site home page at www.hooverchamber.org. On the website, the application is available on the home page with a CLICK HERE designation to get the application.
The Scholarship Program is named after Lila Parks, the long-time volunteer who ran the Applied Career Education Program (A.C.E.) for high school students for the ten years of its existence virtually by herself. She retired in 2004 after a long and successful career as an Allstate Insurance agent.
Lila Parks Scholarships will be restricted to public four-year colleges and universities located within the State of Alabama. Applications are to be turned in to the Chamber office by 4 p.m., April 22, 2016. Anyone wanting more information about these scholarships can call the Chamber at 988-5672. Students applying can be from any of the area schools, including all public and private schools, but must meet at least one of the criteria listed on the application. Applicants must also submit the first two pages of IRS form 1040 to be considered, as the Hoover Chamber Scholarships are considered as financial needs based scholarships.
In addition, the chamber’s Second Annual Forks & Corks Gala last September produced enough revenue that the Chamber can offer over $8,000 in Gala Scholarships, in the name of the sponsoring company that provided the scholarship. The following companies have offered “Named Scholarships” through their
