East Windsor Township, in conjunction with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, is offering junior and senior high school students an interesting scholarship opportunity.
They have teamed up to offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition. This statewide scholarship competition centers on the question “What I Like About My Hometown” and seeks to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the municipal government, while raising awareness of municipal government in general.
“This is a positive program for junior and senior high school students, which provides assistance toward higher education, while spotlighting the important role of municipal government and officials,” said Mayor Janice Mironov. “By offering this type of program, we hope it will provide a greater insight and interest in the function and workings of local government, especially by young people.”
Mironov will appoint a committee which will select a semi-finalist from East Windsor Township and forward the semi-finalist’s entry to the Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJSLOM) for their consideration. The NJSLOM Scholarship Committee will select 15 finalists and three winners from the State of New Jersey.
A full application package can be obtained through the Municipal Clerk’s Office, 16 Lanning Blvd., East Windsor, New Jersey or by calling (609) 443-4000, ext. 438. Entries should be submitted to the Mayor’s Office by Wednesday, March 5.
