East Windsor Township, in conjunction with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, is offering junior and senior high school students a scholarship opportunity.
The two have teamed up to offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition. This statewide scholarship competition centers on the theme “What My Municipal Government Does Best” and seeks to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the community, while raising awareness of municipal government in general.
“ 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,” said East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov.
East Windsor Mayor Mironov will appoint a committee to select a semi-finalist from East Windsor Township and forward the semi-finalist’s entry to the Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJSLOM) for its consideration. The NJSLOM Scholarship Committee will 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. 238. Entries should be submitted to the mayor’s office by Friday, March 11, 2016.
