The Commissioners announced that applications for the County’s annual Student Scholarship Awards are now being accepted. Five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to graduating high school seniors.
This year’s scholarships are being sponsored by the Commissioners in partnership with: Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce, Virtua Health and Remington & Vernick Engineers.
“March is Women’s History Month and one of the ways we celebrate the women trailblazers of the past is to recognize and support some of our county’s young women scholars. We want to help them continue their studies and become future leaders,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Dr. Felicia Hopson, who is a liaison to the Women’s Advisory Council. “Thanks to the support of Virtua Health, Remington & Vernick and the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce, we are able to provide this important support to young women who are already making a difference in their communities.”
“As women leaders, we have a responsibility to mentor the new generation and encourage them to pursue promising careers,” added Commissioner Deputy Director Allison Eckel, who is also a liaison to the Advisory Council. “These scholarship awards provide useful financial support and much-deserved recognition for some our county’s best and brightest.”
