Vernon student wins engineering scholarship

VERNON — Kristen Ondris of Venon won a 2015 North Jersey Branch American Society of Civil Engineers $1,000 scholarship for graduating high school seniors.

The North Jersey Branch has established a high school scholarship program for students who intend to pursue a college degree in Civil Engineering or an Associate's degree in Civil Engineering Technology. Among other criteria, the qualifying senior must have applied to schools that offer either a Civil Engineering curriculum or an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering Technology Program.

Any high school senior who resides in the North Jersey Branch jurisdiction (i.e. Sussex, Warren, Morris, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Union or Hudson counties) who intends to graduate from high school in May/June 2015 is eligible.
