The New Jersey State League of Municipalities has an excellent scholarship opportunity for High School Juniors and Seniors from Fanwood. Submissions are due to Mayor Mahr’s office no later than March 11, 2019.
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 municipal government. There will be three $1,000 scholarships offered through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition
Many of the elected officials and appointed board members serve Fanwood with little or no compensation. It is their altruistic desire to serve their community which compels them to public service. These officials, along with a cadre of dedicated professionals, are guardians of our hometown comforts and security. They give of their time and talents to help plan our community and preserve our way of life.
They serve us year-round, every day and yet are hardly noticed. This scholarship competition will help rectify that, while encouraging future municipal leaders.
Full details on the application process can be found here.
