Applications are now being taken for the Joint Board’s highly successful Abraham Chatman Scholarship program, manager Gary Bonadonna Jr. announced.
He stressed that the scholarship program is open to members’ eligible children throughout the Board’s jurisdiction.
The program can offer up to 10 scholarships worth $2,000 each to Joint Board member’s children. The actual number is based on how many applicants there are and decisions of the Rochester Area Community Foundation (RACF), which administers the program, Bonadonna Jr. noted.
