$1K Scholarship Opportunity Available For Summit High School Students

SUMMIT, NJ — Summit High School junior and seniors are eligible for a scholarship opportunity that is being offered by Mayor Nora Radest and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities.

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."

This competition seeks to highlight elected officials’ hard work and encourage future municipal leaders.

"This is an excellent opportunity for students in Summit and I encourage all juniors and seniors to
apply," said Mayor Radest. "Our elected officials and municipal staff work hard every day to make
Summit a great place to live, work, and visit. It is my hope that through this scholarship competition, our young citizens will recognize the importance and impact of this work and choose to serve their communities in similar ways in the future."

The submission deadline for the scholarship is March 10. The competition is open to all high school juniors and seniors that reside or attend school in Summit.

Mayor Radest will select one semi-finalist, who will be designated a state semi-finalist. Then, the Scholarship Committee of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities will select 15 finalists and three winners.

The three winners in the competition will be awarded $1,000 each by their mayor at a hometown ceremony. Winners' essays will also be featured in the New Jersey Municipalities magazine.

You can access the application and view more information on the competition on the City of Summit website at www.cityofsummit.org/scholarship.
