Five graduating seniors from Cedar Grove High School’s Class of 2022 will receive $5,000 each toward their future education needs, thanks to a scholarship fund set up by Kevin O’Toole and Thomas Scrivo, managing partners of O’Toole Scrivo.
The students will be chosen for the one-time scholarship based on financial need, academic ability, volunteerism and community service.
The firm worked closely with the Cedar Grove board of education to create the type of scholarship that would best serve the needs of the students. This initial program pledges the funds for four years and will assist 20 students in their educational endeavors.
