The New Bronx Chamber of Commerce
Announces 15th Annual Women Of
Distinction Scholarship Awards
The New Bronx Chamber
of Commerce is once
again awarding partial
college scholarships to
high-achieving female
Bronx students as part of
its annual Women’s History
Month Women of
Distinction event series,
now in its 15th year. This
year’s event -- themed
Valiant Women of the
Vote: We Will Not Be Silenced
-- will take place
on March 26 starting at
11:30am on Zoom, honoring
Hazel N. Dukes, President
of the NAACP New
York State Conference.
Meisha Ross Porter,
Bronx Executive Superintendent
and newly-appointed
Chancellor of the
NYC Department of Education,
will serve as Keynote
Speaker.
Bronx Chamber President
Lisa Sorin said,
“While we are disappointed
to again not be
able to gather in person
to celebrate our honoree
& scholarship recipients
and recognize our Chamber
member sponsors,
we are thrilled to be able
to award partial scholarship
funds to more
than 20 accomplished
female students from
high schools around the
Bronx – a new record
for our scholarship program.”
By creating opportunities
for businesses
to partner with educational
institutions to
provide scholarships
for academically gifted
young women, the Bronx
Chamber is addressing
critical education funding
needs and empowering
youth to succeed and
contribute to their Bronx
communities. Scholarship
recipients are graduating
seniors attending
public, private, and charter
high schools around
the Bronx.
Scholarships were
made possible through
the generosity of the following
sponsors: Con
Edison, The Metro Optics
Group, Ponce Bank, Sandra
Erickson Real Estate,
The Monroe Foundation,
Woodlawn Cemetery,
Simone Development,
Manhattan Parking
Group, Orange Bank &
Trust, KZA Realty, Verizon,
NYC Council Member
Mark Gjonaj, and an
anonymous Chamber
member donor.
