Scholarship opportunity for Bayonne high school juniors and seniors

BAYONNE – The city of Bayonne is seeking participants for the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship, which offers state high school juniors and seniors an opportunity for financial assistance.

Provided through a partnership between Bayonne and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, high school students residing in the city are eligible for three $1,000 scholarships.

Students must enter a contest with the theme of “What My Municipal Government Does Best.”

Bayonne residents who attend Bayonne, Marist, Hudson Catholic, and High Tech high schools, as well as Saint Peter’s Prep, St. Dominic’s Academy, and other secondary education institutions, can apply.

“We want to stress that that all high school juniors and seniors from Bayonne are eligible,” Mayor James Davis said.

Information is available by calling the Mayor’s Office at (201) 858-6010, or sending an e-mail to mayors.office@baynj.org.

Submissions are due to the Mayor’s Office by March 10. A winning entry will be established by April 2 and forwarded to the statewide judging committee as the representative semi-finalist.

The announcement of finalists and winners will be on or about May 5.
