Applications Open for Two $1,000 Jamestown Scholarships for Stutsman Seniors

The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Past Presidents announced March 4, 2026 that they are accepting applications for two non-renewable $1,000 scholarships for graduating seniors from Stutsman County who plan to attend the University of Jamestown. The chamber said the awards are offered in partnership with the University of Jamestown and Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

The chamber’s press release describes the first award as a $1,000 non-renewable scholarship offered by the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce and Jamestown Regional Medical Center to a high school graduating senior from Stutsman County planning to attend the University of Jamestown and pursue a degree in the medical field. The second is described as a $1,000 non-renewable scholarship offered by the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce and the University of Jamestown to a high school graduating senior from Stutsman County planning to attend the University; that second award is open to students in all academic majors.

The chamber copy includes application instructions: "You can visit bit.ly/pastpresident1 to fill out an application." The release also gives a contact for questions and submissions: "If you know a student who would like to apply for a Chamber Past Presidents Scholarship, contact Alyson Leas at 701-252-3467 ext. 5451."

Published versions of the announcement appearing in the Jamestown Sun and local school news pages repeat the same scholarship descriptions and point to the same application link and contact information. The University of Jamestown’s site lists campus contact information and carries a ©2026 notice; the university’s Jamestown campus address is 6000 College Lane, Jamestown, ND 58405 and the main phone number shown is (701) 252-3467. The university pages also list TTY/TDD 1-800-366-6888 and additional UJ campus contacts in Phoenix and Fargo with phone numbers included on the university site.

There is a timing discrepancy in published materials: the chamber press release includes the line "Application submission will close on May 1st, 2025," while the announcement is dated March 4, 2026 and the University of Jamestown pages carry a 2026 copyright. Prospective applicants should confirm the current deadline and the live application form at bit.ly/pastpresident1 or by calling Alyson Leas at 701-252-3467 ext. 5451. The chamber emphasizes a "longtime partnership with both the University of Jamestown and Jamestown Regional Medical Center to provide scholarships to incoming University students," reflecting an ongoing local effort to support Stutsman County graduates entering higher education and the medical field.
