ICFNJ Scholarship Donors New Jersey Independent Colleges Funding AICUNJ

Investing in Students

Today, 84 percent of all students attending ICFNJ's member institutions receive some sort of financial aid. Our colleges and universities provide more than $216 million from their own budgets for financial assistance. Scholarship programs supported by our corporate and foundation partners and administered by ICFNJ seek to close that gap and ensure that the benefits of a private higher education are available to all qualified students.

ICFNJ can assist corporations and foundations that want to provide scholarships for economically disadvantaged and academically deserving students. We manage a variety of scholarship programs and assist corporate and foundation partners by identifying and selecting students who match their strategic focus or meet their guidelines for giving. We then monitor students' progress to ensure academic and financial aid eligibility is maintained.

Any gift may be designated for "scholarships." Investors may request selection of their scholars based on specific criteria such as geographic region, academic major, career plans, grade point average or a combination of criteria.

Corporations that provide scholarship support make a strategic investment in the company's future. Establishing relationships with students may result in opportunities for internships and postgraduate employment. As corporate scholars, many of these young men and women may be provided a forum to meet with corporate leaders and other employees and develop a sense of partnership with the donor corporation. Investing in scholars today educates the work force of tomorrow, which is critical to the economic growth of our state. Scholarship gifts do make a significant difference.
