Calling All High School Seniors: Brielle Community Library Association Scholarship Opportunities Available
The Brielle Community Library Association (BCLA) will offer two scholarship opportunities to graduating Brielle high school seniors this year. While they have proudly awarded the Jean Wetzel Memorial Scholarship for many years, the association will also offer a second opportunity, the BCLA/Joe Leone Culinary Scholarship.
The Brielle Public Library's children's reading room was dedicated in honor of Jean Wetzel, a Brielle resident and devoted patron of the library who loved children's literature. It is the $1,000 scholarship's goal to help a well-rounded Brielle high school senior with a love for reading, high character and outstanding scholarship further their education at a college or university.
The BCLA/Joe Leone Culinary Scholarship is offered by the BCLA in partnership with Joe Leone, and seeks to provide $1,000 of support to a deserving high school senior who is planning to attend culinary school. If there are no interested applicants in a given year, the amount of the scholarship will roll over to the following year.
If you would like to apply for either scholarship, please download the forms by clicking the links below.
