Brick Mayor Lisa Crate has announced an annual scholarship opportunity for high school juniors and seniors in Brick Township who plan to continue their education after graduation. The New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJSLOM) is offering three $1,000 scholarships through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.
Applicants are required to submit an essay of approximately 500 words on the theme, “What I Like About My Hometown.” Essays should be based on the applicant’s perceptions and experiences with their municipality’s local government. The essay should consider the public contributions of their municipal government. Essays will be judged on originality, technical composition and how effectively the theme is articulated.
“I encourage every Brick Township student planning to attend college or pursue further education to apply for this scholarship,” said Mayor Crate. “With the rising cost of education, taking the time to complete the application and write a thoughtful essay is a worthwhile investment.”

One essay from Brick Township will be selected as a state semi-finalist and submitted for review by the NJSLOM Scholarship Committee, which will choose 15 finalists and three winners. Each winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship, and their essay will be published in New Jersey Municipalities Magazine.
“I look forward to reading the essays from our talented students and hearing their perspectives on our community,” said Crate.
