Jared Brunner and Shaurya Salwan are accepted into the NJ Scholars program!

The NJ Scholars Program is an intensive, residential, academic program for highly intelligent and motivated students who have completed their junior year. Every high school in the state of New Jersey is permitted to submit a maximum of 2 applications. Then, out of hundreds of applicants, only 39 students from the entire state are accepted each year.

For five weeks during the summer, the Scholars live at the Lawrenceville School while they explore a topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. This year's topic will be The Great War Era: Cultural Splendor or the Collapse of Civilization?

The missionof the NJ Scholars' program is to engage and challenge students by creating an intense, interdisciplinary intellectual experience. The Scholars participate in lectures and small-group seminars, have extensive reading assignments, and pursue research at world-class libraries and museums.

This year, the Upper School is proud to announce that BOTH of our applicants have been accepted into the NJ Scholars program. Please congratulate: Jared Brunner and Shaurya Salwan
