The Greater New Jersey Motorcoach Association (GNJMA) Scholarships will be awarded to full-time employees, or the dependent children of full-time employees of GNJMA Operator Member companies. Also eligible are the employees of GNJMA Allied Members companies, or the dependent children of the Allied Member companies. The award will go to whom best meet the requirements set forth by the Scholarship Committee. Scholarship awards are limited to cover tuition and fees. Two annual scholarships will be awarded; one for GNJMA Operator Members and one for GNJMA Allied Members.
The Scholarship Committee will be authorized to review the applications blindly, i.e. without names, and make the selections. The Scholarship Committee will be appointed by the Board of Directors and will serve at the discretion of the Board. Our Executive Director, Pattie Cowley, will be the point-of-contact.
