The Burlington County Commissioners and the county’s Women’s Advisory Council continue to recognize and support standout young women by awarding scholarships to those who want to lead and advocate for other women or pursue careers in STEM, health care, law, government, business and community service.
Applications for the county’s annual student scholarship awards are now being accepted; five $1,000 awards will go to high-school seniors. This year, the commissioners and council have partnered with the county’s Regional Chamber of Commerce to create a new scholarship category: a young woman interested in business or entrepreneurship.
Virtua Health, Remington & Vernick Engineers and the Alice Paul Institute also continue to sponsor county scholarships for female achievers. The awards – all for high-school seniors – are as follows:
