Louis Bay 2nd Scholarship
Deadline March 8

2024 LOUIS BAY 2nd SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION DEADLINE MARCH 8
 

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ - (Feb. 1, 2024) - Once again, the New Jersey League of Municipalities (NJLM) is proud to announce the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition for high school juniors and seniors planning to continue their education after high school.

The purpose of this scholarship, now in its 30th year, is to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer positions in municipal government while raising awareness of municipal government in general. This scholarship competition has been named in honor of Louis Bay 2nd, Mayor Emeritus of Hawthorne and an active participant as a League Board Member and Past President for 60 years.

Robbinsville Township has teamed up with the NJSLM to offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition. This statewide scholarship competition this year centers on the theme: “What My Municipal Government Does Best" and seeks to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the municipal government. Many of the elected officials and appointed board members serve the municipality for little or no compensation. It is an altruistic desire to serve their community which compels them to public service. These officials, along with a cadre of other dedicated professionals, are the guardians of our hometown comfort and security. They give their time and talents year-round to help the community and preserve our way of life.

We hope this scholarship competition will help encourage and energize future municipal leaders.   
The deadline for submission is March 8, 2024. Award announcement will be on May 3.
