BRICK, NJ — Students who live in Brick Township are invited to apply for a scholarship presented through the New Jersey League of Municipalities.
The scholarship is open to high school juniors and seniors who plan to continue their education after graduation and there are three $1,000 scholarships statewide presented through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.
Applicants are required to submit a 500-word essay on the theme, “What I Like About My Hometown.” Essays should be based on the applicant’s perceptions and experiences with their municipality’s local government and the public contributions of their municipal government.
Essays will be judged on originality, technical composition and how effectively the theme is articulated.
One essay from Brick Township will be selected as a state semifinalist and submitted for review by the NJSLOM Scholarship Committee, which will choose 15 finalists and three winners. Each winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship, and their essay will be published in New Jersey Municipalities Magazine.
Applications are submitted to Mayor Lisa Crate, and must be turned in no later than Friday, March 14, 2025.
