East Windsor HS Students Now Have A Chance To Win A Scholarship

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — High school juniors and seniors in East Windsor now have an interesting scholarship opportunity.

East Windsor Township and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJSLOM) have teamed up to offer three $1,000 scholarships to students.

The grants will be made through the Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.

This statewide scholarship seeks to “advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the community,” while raising awareness of municipal government in general, the mayor’s office said.

“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 in a statement.

Mironov hoped the program “will provide a greater insight and interest in the function and workings of local government, especially by young people.”

The mayor will appoint a committee which will select a semi-finalist from East Windsor and forward their entry to NJSLOM Scholarship Committee for consideration.

The committee will select 15 finalists and 3 winners from the New Jersey.

A full application package is available at the Municipal Clerk’s Office, 16 Lanning Boulevard, East Windsor.

You can call (609) 443-4000, ext. 238, for more information.

Entries should be submitted to the Mayor’s Office by Wednesday, March 31.
