While the Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission (HTEDAC) works with Township officials to support continued progress in the local economy, it has also continued one annual tradition of giving back to our hometown’s future business leaders.
The Commission, chaired by Lori Danko, recently joined with Mayor Jeff Martin to present four Hamilton high school students with scholarships to help support their pursuit of business-related degrees in college.
The HTEDAC, with the funds raised from its annual events, provided $750 scholarships to students from the four high schools in Hamilton. These students, selected by the HTEDAC’s Scholarship Committee, are graduating seniors passionate about studying business-related fields in college. This year’s recipients are Hamilton High West’s Ashley Salguero, Nottingham High School’s Angelina Violi, Steinert High School’s Teresa M. Loh, and Trenton Catholic Academy’s Luisa Bolanos Vega.
“This year’s class of scholarship award recipients is another fine example of the outstanding high school students across our community,” says Mayor Jeff Martin. “I want to also recognize and thank the dedicated members of our Economic Development Advisory Commission for continuing this annual scholarship program.”
The Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission (HTEDAC) is an official municipal government commission comprised of volunteers that holds many events and programs throughout the year to assist Hamilton’s efforts to support economic development across the community. In addition to the scholarship program, the commission holds various job fairs, an annual business awards dinner, and assists in other projects and initiatives. Through sponsorships and private dollars, the Commission works to conduct such efforts without a cost to Hamilton taxpayers.
