SCOTCH PLAINS, N.J. – The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Scholarship Foundation is currently accepting applications for high school seniors graduating in 2026 who reside in Scotch Plains or Fanwood, and residents currently attending college or other post high school institutions for scholarships. Electronic applications are now available at www.spfscholarshipfoundation.org.
The numerous scholarships offered by the Foundation range in criteria; some awards are need-based, while others have criteria such as the intent to pursue an education in a particular field or participation in certain activities in high school. The major criterion for eligibility is that the applicant resides in Scotch Plains or Fanwood; an applicant need not be a graduate of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School. In addition to the application, the Foundation requires a personal essay from the applicant, a letter of reference, and an official high school or college transcript.
The deadline for the Foundation to receive applications – and any supporting documents as indicated – is February 6, 2026 at 5 p.m. Applicants may submit their applications and other supporting documents via our online application.
“The Foundation is proud to uphold the commitment to support the educational endeavors of the students in our communities,” says Michelle Wywra, President of the Foundation. “We could not accomplish this without the kindness and generosity of our donors, and the participation and support from the community via our fundraising efforts.”
The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Scholarship Foundation’s Board of Trustees is a 100% volunteer-run 501c3 non-profit organization. To learn more about this year’s scholarship offerings, visit www.spfscholarshipfoundation.org.
