JIRAIR S. HOVNANIAN SCHOLARSHIP

In 1948 Jirair S. Hovnanian and his family immigrated to the United States of America in search of finding the American Dream. Through years of hard work, dedication and adherence to a strict code of ethics and morals, Mr. Hovnanian and his family have realized that dream. As the founder of J. S. Hovnanian & Sons, one of the area's largest builders of quality new homes, Mr. Hovnanian felt a desire to give back to the community.  In 1998, in celebration of his fiftieth year as an American citizen, Mr. Hovnanian created the Jirair S. Hovnanian Scholarship Fund.

The purpose of this fund is to award scholarships to youth who are registered members of the Burlington County Council, Boy Scouts of America, to assist young people in their pursuit of the American Dream. Interested youth are encouraged to read the attached documents to determine their eligibility and then complete the required application and submit it to the Burlington County Council, Boy Scouts of America.

All applications must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by April 9, 2010.

All applications will be reviewed and the winners will be notified by phone. A check will be presented to the recipients at the June Council Executive Board Meeting.
