Students at Chattooga Mountain Education have two scholarship deadlines coming up tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30.

The scholarship opportunities are among several college and career resources being promoted to students through the local Mountain Education campus.

The Chattooga campus is located at 302 Maple Drive in Summerville. The campus phone number is 706-230-8937.

Wednesday will also be a busy day on campus beyond the scholarship deadlines. The calendar includes a Course Completion Incentive and a Trailblazer Charcuterie Experience for September 30.

Students interested in either scholarship should check with Chattooga Mountain Education or use the online application information provided through the campus calendar before Wednesday’s deadlines.
