Kearny Bank Donates Scholarship Funds To Ramapo High School

A total of $29,000 has been donated by Kearny Bank to the scholarship funds of 26 high schools, one local board of education, and two educational support organizations in nine New Jersey counties.

Ramapo High School is among the 26 to be selected.

The funds represent the latest contributions in a long-standing, annual scholarship program managed by the KearnyBank Foundation, a news release said.

“We’re quite proud of our annual high school scholarship program, which highlights Kearny Bank’s deep commitment to supporting education throughout New Jersey,” says Kearny Bank President and CEO Craig Montanaro.

“High school was anything but conventional for members of the class of 2021. We’re hoping our scholarship donations will play a part in enabling these students to have spectacular, post-pandemic collegiate experiences.”

Kearny Bank branch managers typically visit schools to make in-person presentations of scholarship funds. While pandemic-related considerations will likely make such visits impossible this year, it’s hoped the practice can be resumed in full in 2022.

Input from schools and related organizations was utilized to determine allocation of funds.
