The Shelby County Chamber of Commerce partnered with Shelby County Industrial Foundation and Shelby County Associated Industries to fund a scholarship program for graduating seniors in the community as well as adult learners. With the desire to come back to Shelby County to make an impact on our community, we have selected community members to help award scholarships locally.
