SCHOLARSHIP AND RECOGNITION AWARDS
Since 1999, the Berkeley Heights Education Foundation has honored college-bound graduating seniors of Governor Livingston High School with monetary scholarships. To date, $6,000 has been awarded to deserving students at the high school's annual senior awards assembly in June. In 2005, the Board of Trustees of the BHEF voted to expand our recognition program to Columbia Middle School.
Columbia Middle School Recognition Awards
At the conclusion of the academic year, two graduating eighth grade students, each of whom is well rounded with good academic achievement and involvement in community or school activities will be selected by the faculty. Each will receive a $50 cash award funded by the BHEF.
The 2007 recipients were Shelly Enright and Eric Learn.
