 The following are questions that parents and students might have along with answers.Who is Mr. Zech?
I am a graduate of Ramapo College of New Jersey (BA in English and Comparative Literature), and New Jersey City University (MA in Special Education and post graduate certification in Counseling). Some of my educational experience includes the following:
- Special Education Teacher, Rahway High School.
- Special Education Teacher, Beadleston High School.
- Special Education Teacher, Bayonne High School.
- Substitute Teacher, Jersey City Public Schools.
- Teacher Assistant, The Children Psychiatric Center, Morganville, New Jersey.
What other experience does Mr. Zech have?
In addition to these positions, I bring to Rahway High School's Guidance Department twenty-two years of corporate and private industry experience. The last position I held before embarking on my current career in education was in the exporting business, where I managed a department of twenty-four employees. For ten years I lived in the fast paced environment of Lower Manhattan, conducting international business, communicating with individuals on a global level, hiring and training personnel, and reporting daily the productivity of my department.
Why did Mr. Zech mention his corporate experience?
It is my intention to prepare my students for the world that awaits them, to furnish them with the tools necessary for sucess, and to guide them in a direction that conforms to their goals and aspirations.

On behalf of the New Jersey Relocation Council (NJRC), I would like to make you aware of a scholarship opportunity for local New Jersey High School seniors as well as High School seniors that recently relocated from qualified NJRC member corporations.
This application package is being sent to high schools in Bergen, Essex, Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset and Union Counties as well as to corporate members that are located in these same counties. Eligibility for the scholarship program is limited to qualified students.
The New Jersey Relocation Council (NJRC) is a non-profit organization that brings together New Jersey corporations and relocation service providers for the primary purpose of providing educational information and current industry updates to its members about the relocation industry.
NJRC recognizes that successful relocations are those that not only help build talent for corporations and/or enhance the careers of their employees but also those that provide growth and added value to the families involved in moving. Understanding that High School students, when relocated are faced with giving up the comforts of their homes, established friendships, involvement with school and community activities and then forged into a new world where they must create and develop new lifestyles as well as handle numerous unexpected challenges. While often difficult we have found that this time can also be inspirational and provide life learning lessons. Whatever the impact, we know that each relocating student has a very special story, unique to their own experiences and stories that we feel
need to be told!
Therefore, NJRC will award three (3) one thousand dollar ($1,000) scholarships to college bound high school seniors who have relocated into one of the six mentioned New Jersey counties or have been relocated anywhere in the world by one of our qualified corporate members.
Students should have moved between 9th (after 8th grade graduation) and 12th grade. The award will be sent to the college that the student will be attending to assist with tuition, etc.
In addition, NJRC will apply to the national organization Worldwide ERC for additional matching funds that may be applied in varying amounts to the scholarship recipients or additional students.
NJRC will select scholarship winners based on the strength of their total package. The student will be evaluated on academic performance, extra-curricular activities, and on their response to an essay addressing the way they handled the challenges associated with relocating to a new area and a new high school. Regardless of whether the student receives the reward, ALL students will be considered winners and ALL stories will become an important addition to the NJRC story collection, entitled “Moving Beyond…. through the eyes of our future leaders”
We look for your assistance with the following items:
1) Identifying eligible seniors based on the criteria that they have:
a. Relocated more than 50 miles and changed schools due to a relocation, and
b. A current cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 (or equivalent achievement on a different scale)
2) Making eligible students aware of this scholarship opportunity and encouraging their participation. Please post the scholarship application on your website or in your newsletter to seniors. Let me know if you need an electronic version to do so.
3) Providing academic performance information including grades and major test scores (SAT) to accompany the student's application.

The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program wants to reward students who have succeeded both inside and outside of the classroom—and who may not be able to attend college without financial assistance. It's a reward for what you've made of yourself and the difference you are making for others.
The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program is offering:
Up to $25,000 per year for 100 first-time freshman or existing college students, renewable up to four years and one additional year for those entering a qualified five-year engineering program.
$2,000 one-time awards for an additional 1,000 students.

Scholarship recipients are selected based on the following factors:
Academic achievement and financial need
Participation and leadership in community and school activities, work experience and interest in pursuing a career in the automotive or related industry
Please note special consideration will be given to the following applicants: first-generation college, female, minority, military veteran or a dependent of military personnel
The majority of the scholarships will be awarded to students majoring in Engineering/Technology fields.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship Management Services. All scholarship recipients may be subject to a criminal background check. Recipients of a Buick Achievers Scholarship shall not commit any act that indicates dishonesty or moral turpitude or that otherwise could materially injure the General Motors Foundation, Buick or General Motors Company's reputation. If such an act is committed by a Buick Achievers Scholarship Program recipient, the Buick Achievers Scholarship award shall immediately be revoked. In no instance will any Director or Officer of the General Motors Foundation or any employee of General Motors play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
Recipients will be awarded one scholarship at either of the two award levels:
1,000 Buick Achievers Scholarships of $2,000
100 Buick Achievers National Scholarships of up to $25,000 per year, renewable for up to four years, and one additional year for those entering a five-year engineering program.

Awards are renewable for the given years noted above or until a bachelor's degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale), full-time enrollment and continuing to major in an eligible field of study.
