In addition to funding current scholarships, the Chamber has established an endowment for future giving. The endowment will ensure that the Chamber continues to support Montgomery College in perpetuity. Each year, the Chamber recognizes several of our MC Scholarship recipients at the Annual Gala.

- Committed to Workforce Development – Investing in Montgomery College students.

Why Do We Contribute?
If we want to see a thriving, growing economy, we need an educated, skilled workforce. We need students ready to come into the workforce and make a contribution to our economy and to our community.
Want to Invest in the Future of Tomorrow? Here’s How You Can Help.
The GGCC scholarship committee is championed by GGCC Past Board Chair & retired Hughes Network Systems Vice President Jim Muir. Muir, along with other past Chairs of the board including Allen DeLeon, John Compton, and Jerry Therrien, seek donations yearly from Chamber Members and GGCC Past Chairs who make individual and in some cases personal donations.
Please consider supporting our mission and improving the lives of students – and their families – in our community by providing them with access to a quality education/job training.
