We award one High School Student Community Service Scholarship Award to a graduating high school senior who lives in Cranbury Township.
We award one Woman Student Scholarship Award. This scholarship reflects our club’s commitment to further education for a woman who is pursuing post-secondary education after having experienced a time away from attending school. This award is based on financial need as well as the applicant being able to define her goal in seeking further education. We are looking forward to having applicants that will value our commitment to further education.
We also offer a $100 Middle School Award to one girl and one boy, both selected by the faculty.
Founded in 1898, The Woman's Club of Cranbury was federated in 1922 with the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs, the largest volunteer women's service organization in the state. Through membership in the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the state chapter provides its local clubs with opportunities for leadership training, education and community service. The Woman's Club of Cranbury is one of twenty-nine clubs in the College District.
Members of the Woman's Club of Cranbury generally join one or more departments, which meet monthly. Current departments focus on activities related to:
And we have two focus groups that meet irregularly:
