About the program
The Bay Head School Foundation's Mitchell E. Shivers Distinguished Citizen Scholarship was established in 2005 through the generous donation of a local Bay Head resident. 

The Scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating High School student who either graduated from Bay Head School or is a current resident of Bay Head, and will be pursuing a post graduate degree.

The Scholarship recognizes a graduating high school student who has made a significant contribution to their community during their lifetime.  While a minimum academic performance must be evidenced, the intent of the award is to honor citizenship and civic engagement and responsibility.

Requirements:

Essay topics to consider:

• What does citizenship mean to you 
• The importance of having strong character      
• Overview of activities and/or organizations in which you have been involved in that demonstrate your record of public service
