Each spring, the Irondequoit Chamber of Commerce recognizes three local graduating seniors who have demonstrated aptitude and academic excellence in the study of business. We proudly support our future business leaders and presented these students with scholarship checks at our Annual Student Scholarship Luncheon on May 10, 2017, at the Rochester Yacht Club. Awarding our annual scholarships promotes business careers and the Irondequoit community to our most promising youth. The 2017 scholarship winners are:
