The purpose of this scholarship competition,  established in 2019 by the Education Committee of the Laredo Chamber of Commerce, is to provide financial opportunities for interested graduating students while also instilling a sense of community pride in young adults. The competition recognizes graduates’ creativity and academic achievement.

Participants must submit a 90-second (or less) video addressing all 3 topics listed below.

1)Dreaming Big for Laredo: If you could wave a magic wand, what would you immediately change about Laredo? And what would you keep the same?

2)What Moment Changed You: We encounter lessons, setbacks, and challenges every day. Share a moment or experience that changed you as a person. What did you learn about yourself? How did you change? What insights did you learn and how did that reframe your perspective?

3)Laredo 2050: Imagine you had the opportunity to speak to city leaders and business owners. What could Laredo become? What is your vision for Laredo in 2050?

The Education Committee of the Laredo Chamber of Commerce Foundation is sponsoring the competition with matching funds from Killam Development, which will be presented at a ceremony at the Laredo Country Club.
