Mayor Elizabeth Fagan, MD and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities are offering a scholarship opportunity for high school juniors and seniors in Summit.
Three $1,000 scholarships are being offered through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition, a statewide competition that centers on the theme “What My Municipal Government Does Best” and seeks to highlight elected officials’ hard work and encourage future municipal leaders.
“Our elected officials and volunteers work hard year-round, every day, sharing their time and talents to better our community,” explains Summit Mayor Fagan. “It is my hope that this scholarship competition encourages our young citizens to consider the substantial impact of this work and inspire them to consider serving in similar capacities in the future. I hope many students apply and take advantage of this excellent opportunity.”
The submission deadline is March 7, 2024. The competition is open to all high school juniors and seniors that reside in Summit. Mayor Fagan will select one semi-finalist, who will be designated a state semi-finalist. The Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities will select 15 finalists and three winners.
