May 19, 2022
A total of $29,000 has been donated by Kearny Bank to the scholarship funds of 26 high schools, one local board of education, and two educational support organizations throughout nine New Jersey counties. Each recipient high school will receive $1,000 to benefit one graduating senior selected by the school.
These funds represent the latest contributions in a long-standing, annual scholarship program managed by the KearnyBank Foundation.
“This scholarship program highlights our deep, unwavering commitment to supporting education across New Jersey,” says Kearny Bank President and CEO Craig Montanaro. “We hope these donations will contribute to the designated students having collegiate experiences that are successful and enjoyable.”
Input from schools and related organizations was utilized to determine allocation of funds. In many cases, Kearny Bank branch managers will visit schools to make in-person presentations of scholarship funds.
