East Windsor Students Now Have a Chance At Winning A Scholarship

EAST WINDSOR, NJ – Here's an exciting opportunity for high school students in East Windsor.

East Windsor Township has partnered with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities to offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.

This statewide competition centers on the question “What My Municipal Government Does Best” and seeks to advance the goals of elected and volunteer members of the community. The scholarship also hopes to raise awareness of municipal government.

“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,” Mayor Janice Mironov said.

“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.”

The Mayor will appoint a committee that will then select a semi-finalist from East Windsor and forward the semi-finalist’s entry to the Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJSLOM) for their consideration.

The NJSLOM Scholarship Committee will select 15 finalists and 3 winners from New Jersey.

A full application package is available at the Municipal Clerk’s Office, 16 Lanning Boulevard, East Windsor or by calling (609) 443-4000, ext. 238.

Entries should be submitted to the Mayor’s Office by Wednesday, March 8, 2023.
