This scholarship was established by family and friends in honor of Kaija Jung Andersen, a lifelong and proud resident of Montclair and a rising second grader at Nishuane Elementary School. Kaija is remembered for her confidence, empathy, humor, tenacity, her enthusiasm for life and learning, and for sharing expressions of love for all types of people and living things.
Scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors who demonstrate the potential for success in bringing people together and creating joy and comfort in their lives --one who best exemplifies Kaija's spirit through their acts of compassion, creativity, curiosity, courage, and contributing to community/inclusion.
