The North Avenue Business Association (NABA) is sponsoring its seventh annual scholarship for area high school seniors entering college as a business major. Two $1,000 applications will be awarded. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2013.

Eligible students must complete an application and essay and reside in the Village of Oak Park, River Forest or the City of Chicago neighborhoods of Galewood and parts of Austin. Chicago resident borders are Armitage/Railroad Tracks (2000 North) to the north, Division (1200 North) to the south, Austin Boulevard (6000 West) to the east and Harlem Avenue (7000 West) to the west.
