Each year, ICUNJ administers scholarships through the generosity of donors who understand that finances can be a barrier to college degree success. The funds help to offset costs, provide a confirmation of a student’s major choice and heighten career aspirations by giving students an increased sense of confidence. It supports their sacrifices while working toward a degree. It encourages them to reach their potential. In an era when mental health issues are reaching epidemic levels on college campuses, a simple scholarship gives a student more than financial relief, it fuels their self-esteem.
ICUNJ administered scholarships are unique because they are stacked awards that do not take away from support already in place and they can be used to address the costs of attendance making them far more flexible in meeting the varied expenses associated with earning a degree.
