EAST WINDSOR, NJ — East Windsor Township and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities have teamed up to offer junior and senior high school students an interesting scholarship opportunity.
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 municipal government, while raising awareness of local government in general.
Three $1,000 scholarships will be offered through the Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.
“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,” Mayor Janice Mironov said. “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 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 then select 15 finalists and three winners from New Jersey.
A full application package can be obtained through the Municipal Clerk’s Office, 16 Lanning Boulevard, 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, 2025.
