Dear Student,
The Trustees of the Wood-Ridge Memorial Foundation are continuing their program
of awarding scholarships to Wood-Ridge residents graduating from accredited
secondary schools. Each application will be judged by a group of citizens
representing various organizations and associations. These judges will make their
recommendations to the Foundation's Board of Trustees who are responsible for the
final selections.
These grants are to further a student's education and are not limited exclusively to
four-year colleges. Applications for community colleges, technical schools, and
vocational/trade schools are also welcome.
Each applicant should download the form, fill in the fields directly on the form (a
fillable PDF), save it to their computer, then print it out, sign it and have it signed by
a parent/guardian and the principal/administrator. The application and all
supporting documents must be ONE-SIDED only.
Please forward the signed, completed application together with one copy of your
academic transcript including PSAT and SAT/ACT scores, class rank, Common App
Essay, and any other pertinent data to:
Anne Gilio Turtoro
WRMF Selection Committee

Wood-Ridge, NJ 07075
Completed applications and supporting documents may be dropped off at Kearny
Bank during operating hours. If you have any questions, please email Anne Gilio
Turtoro, aturtoro@gmail.com.
Completed applications must be received by the Foundation office by
Thursday, April 2, 2026. Applications received after that date will NOT
be considered.
Thank you, and we wish you success in your efforts to further your education.
Very truly yours,
WRMF Foundation Selection Committee
