At a recent meeting, The Mahwah Republican Club recognized three winners of a scholarship program offered by the Club earlier in the year.
According to club officials, the students are graduating seniors at Mahwah High School.
Officials say Elizabeth Mastrangelo (far left), who will be attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute, was awarded $500; Meghana Sankar received $750 and will be attending Northeastern University; and Brandon Dinice, who will be attending Bowling Green University, was awarded $250.
Shown with the students are Mahwah Republican Club President Mr. Frank Pallotta (Left) and Mr. Robert Lockwood, a club trustee who created the scholarship program.
Officials said the students submitted 1,000-word essays addressing the theme "In today's divided political landscape, how may fidelity to our founding principles, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, bridge our divisions and promote greater national unity and harmony?"
Each year the Club hosts a beefsteak dinner to raise money to fund the scholarships.
The Mahwah Republican Club said they are a group of township residents who share a mutual love of America and a strong belief in the Founding principles of this nation.
