The 2021 Inspire Scholarships is now open for applications. The scholarship program, sponsored by the Batavia Chamber of Commerce, will be given to Batavia Public School District 101 high school seniors, with up to four awards given.
The four scholarships, worth $500 each, are motivated by the makeup of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce membership. Because the chamber s signature awards event is called Inspire: A Celebration of Those Who Inspire Us!, the name for each of the categories invokes this sentiment. The scholarships are: Inspiring Entrepreneurship; Inspiring Women in Business; Inspiring Career & Technical Achievers; and Inspiring Contributors to a Batavia Chamber Business.
