Internship opportunities are created through the support of Beta Delta Boulé to strategically align with credit-bearing courses.
Scholarship
The Chambers McCain Foundation in cooperation with the Social Action Committee of Beta Delta Boulé is committed to cultivating, achieving, and sustaining the highest quality of life through an improvement in the areas of leadership, economic development, education and social development in the Greater Charlotte Community.The Chambers-McCain Foundation supports two major scholarship programs:

Community
Fulfilling an objective of helping disadvantaged youth requires efforts that come in many different ways. The Foundation seeks both direct and indirect ways to support this objective. For example, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused our CMS schools to close, it left a gap in providing meals to at-risk students in the school system. Recognizing that the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina was stepping up to provide those meals, The Chambers-McCain Foundation provided funding that help feed those students that were without alternative sources of these meals.
