Important things to know

You must file a FAFSA application (International students are exempt) in order to qualify for scholarships. It should take about 30 minutes of your time to file the online application. Applicants who have not filed a FAFSA will not be considered for Foundation Scholarships. To complete your FAFSA application visit https://fafsa.gov//
If you have questions or require assistance please contact our Financial Aid Office in the Administration Building (Bldg. B) at 973-300-2225.
Invite someone to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf on AwardSpring. You will not be able to ‘click’ submit on your application until the letter of recommendation has been received. Make sure you log back into your account periodically to check the status. Follow up with the person you have requested it from to ensure they received the email request.
After sending the request for the letter of recommendation, complete all other sections of the Application prior to the deadline.
Most scholarships require a 500-word essay. Some scholarships require an additional essay on a different topic.

We are proud to be able to present scholarships to so many deserving students. Scholarships help ease the financial burden and make education a reality for many of our students. We believe an investment in education pays high dividends for our community.
