As an NJLICA member, you, a family member, and/or employee may qualify for a scholarship for continuing education.
Each year, NJLICA distributes scholarships to multiple applicants. The scholarships are awarded to an active NJLICA contractor and/or associate member who has been in the association for at least two years, or to the employee, spouse, children, step-children, grandchildren, or step-grandchildren of a qualifying NJLICA contractor and/or associate member.
Funds for the scholarships are raised through our Silent Auctions as well as other events held throughout the year. Our members are extremely generous in keeping the scholarship program ongoing.
The scholarship will be awarded only to students who have been accepted by an accredited two-year or four-year college or university, or vocational-technical school for admission in the fall of the same year the award is granted. The scholarship payment will be made out to the student.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, potential to succeed, leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, an essay on facing challenges and adversity, and an outside, blind appraisal.
Applications postmarked after March 30th will not be considered.
Scholarship recipients will be honored at our Scholarship Awards Dinner. This year’s event will be held at the home of Jeff Neary, J.A. Neary Excavating in Hillsborough, NJ, along with the Annual NJLICA Car Show, on May 20th 2026 at Sunny Lawn Estates in Whitehouse Station, NJ.
Scholarship recipients and guests are asked to attend. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or if I can be of any assistance.
