Foundation: Community Foundation of New Jersey
"A meaningful scholarship is one of students most effective ways to help a young person achieve their dream of an education." So says Faith Krueger, chief operating officer of the Community Foundation of New Jersey, which has awarded $1,575,096 in scholarships to 261 students this month.
Most of the students and institutions of higher learning are in New Jersey, but the list extends beyond Rutgers, Montclair State, NJIT, and the County College of Morris (the most popular among recipients), to also include Brown, Cornell, Harvard, and colleges and universities in another 23 states.
The STEM field was the most popular area of study among scholarship recipients, with top majors including Biology, Engineering, Business, Media, Computer Science, and Nursing.
The Community Foundation currently administers 140 separate scholarship funds, with more than $16 million in total assets.
Seven new scholarship funds were created at the Community Foundation in the past year with a wide variety of focus areas and in memory of beloved family members.
