Local Scholarship Fund Now Accepting Applicants

Bryan’s Dream Foundation, a Basking Ridge-based foundation, announces the 2015 Bryan T. Opremcak Memorial Scholarship is open to applications from all Ridge High School graduating seniors.

The scholarship was established in memory of Nancy and Tim Opremcak’s son, Bryan, and is funded by a donation from the couple. Bryan passed away in 2006 after battling a brain tumor.

“We once again look forward to selecting a senior boy and girl to receive this scholarship award in memory of our son, Bryan,” Tim Opremcak said in a release from the foundation. “We look forward to presenting it to two outstanding students who not only have excellent academic records, but who are committed to public service.”

Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to two students who demonstrate strong academic prowess and community service.

Applications must be postmarked by Friday, April 30. For those interested in applying for the scholarship, additional information and application forms can be found on the Bryan’s Dream Foundation website or at the Ridge High School Guidance Department.
