Pursuing a college degree can be an exciting and life-changing experience that opens countless doors to one’s future.

However, all of this excitement can come with significant challenges and stress, which can stand in the way of even the most dedicated students. While these hurdles can feel overwhelming, any student can succeed with enough perseverance and drive, especially students with a background in leadership and community participation.

This scholarship aims to support young women who are forging their own futures by pursuing their dreams of higher education.

Any female high school senior in New Jersey who has at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they will be attending a four-year college or vocational school in the next academic year and pursuing finance, business, or economics. Preference will be given to someone who demonstrates financial-need. Academic performance, participation in community service and/or school activities, as well as work experience will all be considered.

To apply, tell us a story that shows how you lead by example, uphold integrity, focus on service and solutions, learn and give, and fuel humility and happiness. You will also have the option to submit a letter of recommendation. This can be from a teacher, coach or mentor.

Please note that employees, children of employees or clients of Seelaus are not eligible for this award.
