2011 Chamber "Potential for Success" Award Winners

Every year the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce selects four graduating seniors who attend the six schools in Wicomico County to recieve the "Potential for Success" Award , a $500 cash award for furthering their education.  The funding for the Awards in 2011 was provided by the SACC Foundation.

Applicants were chosen based on several criteria requirements such as: good citizenship, demonstration of initiative, potential for success in further education or in the work force, good attendance and punctuality, honesty, strong spirit of cooperation with fellow students and school faculty, and commitment to educational opportunities.
