Scholarships

RCC Annual Scholarship Program

The Rockford Chamber of Commerce (RCC) wants to promote education in the local area. Each year the chamber offers area students the opportunity to vie for a scholarship to further their education through the Rockford Chamber of Commerce Foundation. This Foundation holds the scholarship funds to further the growth of the scholarship program.


In 2026, the RCC will award 6 – $1,500 scholarships. The scholarship awards may be used for public, private or community colleges, universities and specialized schools or trades programs directly following the student’s graduation from high school.


The 2026 Scholarship is closed for applications. Scholarship information for 2027 students will be posted in January 2027.
