NEW JERSEY HALL OF FAME SCHOLARSHIP
Applications are now being accepted for the 2024 Scholarship Fund
Application Deadline: May 1, 2024
The New Jersey Hall of Fame is proud to announce the renewal of the Areté Scholarship Fund. The Areté Scholarships will be awarded to a deserving male and female student graduating in 2024 from a New Jersey high school. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship from the New Jersey Hall of Fame (NJHOF).
Areté is a concept that Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle referred to more than 3,000 years ago that refers to the act of actualizing one’s highest sense of self with a moral excellence of character. The term Areté essentially means that the individual should strive to pursue their passions in life, and realize their dreams regardless of their circumstances or the adversities that they are likely to face on the path to greatness.
The successful applicants will embody the meaning of Areté and will distinguish themselves as New Jerseyans who are on their way to realizing their dreams. The NJHOF Areté Scholarship Award will be one of the highest honors that the NJHOF & the State of N.J. can bestow upon a student, and each student will be recognized at the NJHOF’s annual induction ceremony!
The recipients of the Areté scholarship are young people who demonstrate that sense of Jersey pride and that willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. The successful applicants must demonstrate qualities such as academic engagement, moral character, and a commitment to their community. These recipients do not necessarily have to be at the very top of their school class from an academic standpoint, but should demonstrate a focus in school and life, and have a well thought out plan on how they intend to realize their highest sense of self: their Areté.
The New Jersey Hall of Fame celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments of Garden State citizens. The inductees have overcome challenges and obstacles to rise to the top of their chosen field. They offer hope to those facing their own struggles and to young people who dare to dream, despite adversity. They instill a sense of pride in New Jerseyans who identify with their “can-do” attitudes and tenacity.
MID NEW JERSEY YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION LIESEL KREHAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
In memory of the many contributions to youth soccer programs and particularly her many years of
dedicated service to the Mid New Jersey Youth Soccer Association, the MNJYSA Board of Directors has
created two $1,000.00 scholarships in honor of Liesel Krehan. The scholarships will be awarded annually
and paid to a male and female candidate.
A seasoned MNJYSA board member and dedicated follower of the sport, Liesel Krehan epitomized the
spirit of youth soccer and volunteerism in New Jersey. Born in Germany in 1923, she was sent by her
parents to live in England during WWII, where she met her husband, John, who served in the free
Czechoslovakian forces in England. Though Liesel is no longer with us, her legacy lives on through the
many initiatives she created in her tenure with MNJYSA. The scholarship is intended to honor her
memory as well as reward the MNJYSA athletes who meet the following qualifications.
The scholarship criteria are as follows:
* You must be a graduating senior
* The award will be offered to any young person who will be attending any type of formal post high
school education. This includes, but not limited to trade, technical, artistic, junior college, college,
university or any other type of formal post high school education.
* Academics, although important, will not be the sole or necessarily the most important aspect of the
selection process.
* The parents’/student’s financial situation will not be considered as one of the elements of the
selection process.
* The candidate has to have been associated with MNJYSA affiliates club/team as an athlete,
volunteer, trainer or as a referee during his/her high school years.
* The candidate has to have his/her association verified by resolution of an affiliated Club’s Board of
Directors.
* The application submitted must be post marked by the date requested.
* Letters of recommendation will be required from high school coach, a club official and community
source (I.e. employer, counselor, priest, rabbi, teacher, etc.)
The award will go to the student athlete who best exemplifies the IDEALS of self-discipline, responsibility,
good citizenship, team work, and your individual contribution to your club/team.
Applications MUST be post marked by May 15, 2024.
