The Auburn Chamber of Commerce awarded a total of $15,000 to eight graduating seniors at the annual Chamber Scholarship Breakfast on May 15 at J. Anthony’s in Auburn/Oxford. Since 1995, the Auburn Chamber has awarded over $375,000 in both student scholarships and teacher mini-grants with proceeds from its Annual School/Business Partnership Golf Tournament held every September.

“We wish our scholarship award recipients the all the best and good health as they continue their post-secondary education come the fall,” said Carrie Cross-Tiraboschi, chair of the Auburn Chamber School and Business Partnership Committee.

The guest speaker of the event was Piya Samant, an award-winning local artist who spoke of her journey from the tech world to the art world, and the importance of following one’s dreams. Piya received an MBA and a Masters of Science in IT & Ops from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. After pursuing a career in Technology, she picked up the brush again in 2014 and commenced her full-time art practice. As a self-taught artist, Piya has learned art techniques by observing artworks of Master artists. You can read more about Piya and see her artwork HERE.
