The Baraga County Chamber of Commerce is offering $750 one-time scholarship opportunities for Baraga County high school graduates seeking to further their education and training beyond their high school diplomas.
Those graduating from Baraga High School, L’Anse High School, and any resident of Baraga County attending senior year programs (including, but not limited to L’Anse-Baraga Alternative Education), are encouraged to apply. “GPA will be considered, but it is not the determining factor in our selection of recipients,” says Cielle Waters-Umfleet of the Scholarship Committee. “We are doing this to help our students gain the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. An investment in education now may lead to an investment in Baraga County’s future”.
Scholarship recipients will be recognized at the Keweenaw Bay and Beyond Mix and Mingle on April 11, 2025 at the L’Anse Golf Club. This event raises funds to continue Chamber scholarships. Public is encouraged to attend.
Both college enrollment and trade programming are appropriate plans of study for these scholarships. The deadline for applying is March 21, 2025.
Applications are available through the Chamber, at the Baraga & L’Anse schools guidance counselors or using the link below.
