$5,000 Parsippany Education Foundation - 

Joseph Windish Memorial Scholarship 

Sponsored by McCabe, Heidrich & Wong, PC

Thanks to a generous donation by McCabe, Heidrich & Wong, PC, once again the Parsippany Education Foundation is offering a $5,000 scholarship to one graduating senior at each of Parsippany's two high schools. Parsippany seniors are encouraged to reach out to their Guidance department or check their Naviance accounts for applications and further information including application deadlines.

Featured Grant: PHHS & PHS

"Liberty Science Center Exploration"

Students explored the exhibits at Liberty Science Center alongside their Peer Leaders, engaging in hands-on learning about careers in science, including working with animals as veterinarians, jobs in the planetarium, and the role of a geologist. Both schools had a fantastic time interacting with one another and their Peer Leaders, making it a fun and enriching experience for all! Liberty Science Center is an excellent choice for Community-Based Instruction trips, especially for students with special needs. Their hands-on exhibits and sensory-friendly options make learning engaging and accessible.

About Us

The Parsippany Education Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1996 to enrich the opportunities and experiences of students in the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District. Its Board of Directors consists of volunteers committed to developing a community of learners. The Foundation awards proposals put forth by the three groups who have direct involvement in the learning process: students, educators, and parents. By encouraging a triadic approach to planning educational innovations, ideas will gain strength since they have the support of all three groups from the onset.
