The Sparta Woman’s Club is ready to receive applications for its 2021 scholarships.

For more than 65 years, the Sparta Woman’s Club has been providing scholarships for female Sparta resident high school seniors.

A scholarship is also available to a Sussex County woman who is furthering her education in college, business, or trade school. This scholarship applicant need not be a resident of Sparta.

Applications are available online through the guidance offices at Sparta High School, Pope John XXIII High School, Sussex County Technical School, and Sussex Charter School, and by contacting the club directly at swcscholarships2021@gmail.com.

Completed applications for both scholarships must be received by Mary Warner, education chair, on or before April 30. All necessary information is attached to the scholarship application.

Scholarship awards are made possible through the fundraising efforts of the Sparta Woman’s Club, which is a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Woman’s Clubs.

Club members work on various fundraisers and projects throughout the year and also contribute to multiple charities in and around Sussex County. The club hosted a virtual Game Day in October and also donated crafted items to Migrant Ministry, Veterans’ Hospital in Orange, N.J., Family Promise, as well as other area agencies. All of the club’s activities center around giving back to our community.
