Local towns host NJ scholarship program
   East Windsor and Hightstown, along with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, have teamed up to offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.
   Mayors Janice Mironov, of East Windsor, and Steven Kirson, of Hightstown, recently made the announcement. This statewide scholarship competition centers on the theme “What My Mayor and Governing Body Do Best” and seeks to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the community, while raising awareness of municipal government.
   According to Mayor Mironov, “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. By offering this type of program, we hope it will provide a greater insight and interest in local government.”
   Said Mayor Kirson, “This is a great opportunity for junior and senior high school students to further their education, as well as educate students on their local government and officials.”
   An appointed committee will select a semi-finalist and forward that individual’s entry to the Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. The State League Scholarship Committee will select 15 finalists and three winners from New Jersey.
   An application package can be obtained through the office of Mayor Mironov, 16 Lanning Blvd., East Windsor, or by calling 609-443-4000, ext. 237.
