FIVE STAR STUDENT AWARD 

The Bergen County Clerk’s Office is excited to resume “The Five Star Student Award.”

Bergen County Clerk John S. Hogan will honor high school students twice a year. Awards will be distributed in December and April. Rewarded for their exemplary achievements, outstanding students will receive a $1000 check along with a certificate from the John S. Hogan Foundation recognizing their accomplishments.

Our goal is to reward students who continually strive to learn and better themselves within their communities in some unique fashion. We are interested in…

  • Student volunteers who dedicate their time to helping others
  • Student entrepreneurs who have developed a creative business model or product
  • Students who have overcome some form of adversity and have found a meaningful way to give back to their community
  • And many more!

Clerk Hogan wants to acknowledge and reward the efforts of bright students and have them share their stories, inspiring others in the process.
