HAMILTON, NJ – As the Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission (HTEDAC) continues its mission to support local business growth and community development, it also remains dedicated to investing in the township’s future leaders.

In a proud annual tradition, the Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission (HTEDAC), led by Chairperson Lori Danko, joined Mayor Jeff Martin to present four $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors from each of Hamilton’s high schools. Funded through proceeds from HTEDAC’s annual events, these scholarships were awarded to students selected by the Commission’s Scholarship Committee based on their plans to pursue business-related degrees in college.

This year’s recipients represent each of the township's four high schools – Hamilton High West’s Jaela Rivera, Nottingham High School’s Catalina Holliday, Steinert High School’s Giovanni Conte, and Thive Charter School’s Domenic Lipari.

“This year’s scholarship recipients reflect the outstanding caliber of young talent we’re fortunate to have here in Hamilton,” said Mayor Jeff Martin. “I commend these students for their achievements and aspirations, and I thank the members of HTEDAC for their continued commitment to fostering future business leaders through this important program.”

The Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission (HTEDAC) is an official municipal government commission comprised of volunteers that hosts numerous events and programs throughout the year to support Hamilton’s efforts in promoting economic development across the community. In addition to the scholarship program, the commission hosts various job fairs, an annual business awards dinner, and assists with other projects and initiatives. Through sponsorships and private donations, the Commission works to conduct these efforts without incurring a cost to Hamilton taxpayers.
