The Nancy Strisko Coleman Scholarship Program has been established in memory of one of the Whiting & Robertsdale, past Chamber Board of Directors, Nancy Coleman.   Nancy was a George Rogers Clark graduate, class of 1982, and spent over 34 years, doing what she did best, caring for others.   As a nurse, Nancy was always ready to give of her time at community events to triage the first aide stations.  Her love for her community blossomed over the decades and you would always find her donating tireless hours running the Pierogi Souvenirs Store, as well as at Wickedly Whiting Festival.  To honor her legacy this annual nursing scholarship will be given out each summer to a qualified high school graduate planning to pursue a degree in the nursing or medical fields.

Any graduating high school senior with residency in the Whiting and Robertsdale 46394 zip code is eligible to apply.  The application packets will be available at the Chamber or Whiting’s Centier Bank location through the months of May & June.   The deadline for submission of this packet is needed in person by June 30th or post marked if mailed to our local chamber.  The application packet has step by step details on the essay, grades, and other requirements.   The winner will be announced end of July at Pierogi Fest.   Further details contact the Chamber 219-659-0292; Alexa Cano, Committee Member at 219-201-4262; or Donna Cafferata Committee Member at 219-659-0043, ext. 2601.
