Sabert NJ Awards Local Scholarship

Sayreville, NJ - June 7, 2011 - Sabert Corporation, a NJ based company, announced the 2011 winner of its company sponsored scholarship award. Jessica Iocca, of Sayreville, was awarded this year's scholarship. The winner was awarded a 4 year scholarship of $5000 for each year to cover tuition and related expenses (as long as the student continues their education).

Each year, Sabert donates scholarship money to three high school seniors located near one of its three manufacturing facilities. Sayreville High School, where Sabert's headquarters and largest US plant are located, is the participating high school. Over twenty seniors of Sayreville High School submitted applications in 2011 which included a comprehensive summary of their high school record, outside activities, and responses to two essay questions. A committee of Sabert employees reviewed the applications and evaluated each candidate, ultimately selecting Jessica as the winner.

A luncheon was held on June 7 to honor Jessica as the winner. Attendees included Mayor Kennedy Obrien, Sayreville High School personnel including Paula Schnorbus and Donna Sicola from the Guidance Department, the principal, James Brown and winners from the past 2 years. Jessica was joined at the luncheon by her grandmother, Patricia Iocca.
