Annually, the Tigard Chamber awards scholarships to high school seniors to apply to college costs. These scholarships are open to seniors that are planning to attend a 4 year university, 2 year community college or those pursuing vocational and technical training opportunities. Currently we award between 4-6 $1,000 scholarships each year based on the generous contributions of Pride Disposal, Tigard Chamber members and other sponsoring businesses.
