Muskegon Chamber Partners Business Leaders With Students

The Michigan Scholars Program had yet another successful year! This three year partnership with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce & Muskegon Public Schools has brought business professionals into the eighth grade classrooms at Bunker and Steele Middle Schools to talk to the students about their future. The business professionals encouraged students to challenge themselves by taking more rigorous courses in high school to better prepare them for the global economy they will have to face. If students continue with the required Michigan Scholars Course of Study and if eligible they could qualify up to $6000. Once again, thanks to all our business professionals who volunteered their time to this very rewarding initiative.
