The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce has announced April 19 as the deadline for nine different scholarships available to high school seniors from Centralia, Chehalis and Adna.
New this year is the expansion of the Boys and Girls Club of Lewis County to include all high school seniors in Lewis County for its scholarship.
Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $1,000 and are awarded at the annual Rob Fuller Scholarship Luncheon honoring the top 25 students from Centralia and Chehalis.
Visit www.robfullerfund.org for applications and additional information.
In 2011, The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce established the Rob Fuller Scholarship program in honor of long-time community business owner, leader, volunteer and philanthropist Rob Fuller, who died at 67 after a bout with cancer.
In 2022, the chamber’s board established the Rob Fuller Scholarship Fund as its own nonprofit. This new designation means that donations to the fund are now tax deductible, ensuring the longevity and stability of the scholarships.
To donate to the Rob Fuller Scholarships, visit www.robfullerfund.org, or call 360-748-8885 to donate with a credit card.
