Marie Panos Scholarship Fund

Picture
The Marie Panos Scholarship was established in 1992 to honor the memory of Marie Panos. Marie was a teacher in the district for 28 years and president of the MRTA (now MAREA) for 23 years. Marie cared deeply about high standards in education, and valued integrity and courageous leadership. She inspired many with her dedication to these ideals.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the Marie Panos Scholarship, a student must have attended the Matawan-Aberdeen schools for at least five years and be currently enrolled in a district school. The student must be a current resident of Matawan or Aberdeen. This scholarship may be awarded to graduating MRHS seniors for college or to younger Matawan-Aberdeen students for summer study or part-time study. Candidates will be evaluated on scholarship and leadership as well as on the quality of their educational plans. 

Application
Application Deadline is Monday, May 12, 2023.
Complete the entire application.
  • You must attach a current transcript (high school students) or a recent report card (middle and elementary school students)
  • Attach your essay to the application form
  • Remember to sign the application
  • The signature of your parent (if applicant is under 18) and an MAREA member is also required
Incomplete applications will not be considered. 

Important Information
Recipients will be announced at the MRHS Awards Night to be held in June. Scholarship payments used for college will be made in November as payment for the second semester of the freshman year. Please send the completed application to the MAREA office at the address listed on the back. Applicants will be notified of the committee's decision.
