The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce has announced it has awarded four scholarships of $1,000 each to local high school graduates who will continue their education at a university, college, or technical school. This year the Chamber received 23 impressive applications from highly qualified students.

One of the scholarships was generously funded by Pacific Interstate Insurance Brokers, with the remaining three made possible by proceeds from the Silent Auction held at the Chamber’s annual Installation and Business Awards Dinner. The Chamber is committed to growing this impactful sponsorship program in the years to come.

Scholarship recipients were selected by a committee of four local community leaders. Each application was evaluated using a points-based system: 50% for community service, 15% for work experience, 15% for extracurricular activities, 10% for GPA, and 10% for financial need.

The El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce congratulates the following 2025 Scholarship Recipients, all from Oak Ridge High School: Andrew Hansen, Andrew Ni, Ian Spero, and Sophia Voudouris.

“We are honored to support our graduating seniors,” said Debbie Manning, President & CEO of the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce. “Our hope is that after completing their education, they will return to El Dorado Hills to live and work in our vibrant community.”

Donations to the El Dorado Hills Chamber Scholarship Fund for the Class of 2026 are welcomed and appreciated. Please contact chamber@eldoradohillschamber.org to contribute.
