JHS SENIORS PURSUING A DEGREE AND CAREER IN GOVERNMENT:
The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the annual National Washington Crossing Foundation Scholarship Awards for students completing twelfth grade (or final high school year) in 2025 who are planning careers in government service. Scholarship applicants must be citizens of the United States. The Trustees and Members of the Foundation, mindful of the significance of the important event in our nation’s history that occurred at Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, believe that if our country is to continue to progress, we must have thoroughly trained, dedicated young people to carry on our government’s work in future years.
Each interested student is invited to write a one-page essay stating why he or she plans a career in government service including any inspiration to be derived from the leadership of George Washington in his famous crossing of the Delaware. This essay must be accompanied by a recommendation from the high school principal or guidance counselor evaluating the student’s achievements, along with transcripts, national testing scores, and other supporting information of the applicant’s choice as described in the Official Rules.
We award a variety of scholarships every year. Each scholarship will be paid, as long as the student meets the requirements of the college chosen. Students planning to attend one of the Military Academies or who have been awarded full four-year tuition scholarships will be eligible for an award.
In past years, winners attending will have their expenses paid for transportation, food and housing in Pennsylvania for the weekend, to attend the Scholarship Awards Ceremony. All winners are required to attend the Scholarship Awards Ceremony and Luncheon on Saturday April 26, 2025, to win their scholarship. The Scholarship Awards Ceremony and Luncheon will begin at 11 am at the Washington Crossing Inn, right next to Washington Crossing Historic Park.

Please help us a make a big push on getting qualified students at your school to complete the CFS application. As of today, we have 19 submitted CFS applications. The student must complete two parts, the universal application and then apply for the Community Foundation Scholarship. The student will need to scroll down the application list to find the Community Foundation Scholarship. I am including a few screen shots of the application, and the short essay question the student must answer. We will be sending the student reminders to apply and complete the application. However, you know student best and a push from you will be a big help. Last spring we awarded 190 Community Foundation Scholars from the COHSCN. Let’s do it again!
