Mahwah NJ, the Mahwah Republican Club today announced they have awarded scholarships to two graduating Mahwah High School Seniors, Isabella Garcia and Elijah Greenberg. Isabella, will be attending The United States Military Academy at West Point, and Elijah will be attending Clarkson University in the Fall.  The scholarship essay contest, titled “Do you Believe the American Dream of Living a Better Life Than Your Parents, Is Alive and Well?” was originally intended to award one scholarship, but two were ultimately presented. “Of all the entries received, these two essays stood out among the others. We are grateful that the next generation of young adults entering college and the workforce, have an appreciation for the commitment and dedication their parents and grandparents  showed, in building our great country”, said Josephine and Charles Rabolli, Mahwah Republican Club members and generous sponsors of the award. They continued,  “Both essays were worthy of the scholarship, so we decided to double the award, pay if forward, and name two winners”. Their son Charles, who is currently enrolled at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, won the Club scholarship award in 2014.
