The Chamber Foundation of Algonquin/Lake in the Hills has announced the recipients of the Foundation’s Scholarship Awards. On May 16, the chamber awarded $1,500 scholarships to two deserving high school seniors — Erika Huckins of Lake in the Hills and Margaret Van Der Bosch of Algonquin.

“It was no easy task for the scholarship committee to make their selection, as all of the 22 candidates displayed exemplary leadership skills, community involvement and a genuine interest to make a difference in the world,” said committee member Linda Wagner of All State Insurance.

Students were eligible based on Algonquin or Lake in the Hills residency and/or a family member of the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce. Evaluation of the students was through a blind process which evaluated their school and civic activities and their commitment to community leadership.

The chamber congratulates these outstanding students and wishes them continued success in their future academic endeavors.

The foundations scholarship is funded primarily through the proceeds from live auction from the chamber’s annual awards dinner. For more information, visit www.ALChamber.com.
