Ahern Scholarship Application

 

The Ahern Foundation was founded in 1996 to honor

and continue the legacy of one of Bayonne's most beloved citizens, the late Don Ahern. Although known to many as "Coach", he did much more than coach the Bayonne High School Football Team for over 30 years. He was an educator in the Bayonne School System for more than 35 years and served as City Council-at-Large Member for 12 years.

The family and friends of this legendary man choose to honor him by establishing the Don Ahern Memorial Scholarship. This program offers two (2) $2500 college scholarships per year to high school seniors who are residents of the City of Bayonne. A couple of years ago, a $500 Trade/Vocational Scholarship was added and is awarded to a Bayonne High School student.

To date, the Don and Arlene Memorial Scholarship program has given $115,000 to promising young students from Bayonne. In 2007, to celebrate its 10th year of giving, the Foundation awarded six winners a total of $10,000. In 2016.
