Honors College Receives $25,000 Scholarship Grant from Fred C. Rummel Foundation
The Fred C. Rummel Foundation has awarded the University’s Honors College a scholarship grant of $25,000 to assist ten students who are academically superior but who have financial need. The scholarships are earmarked for high-achieving students from Essex or Union counties who are selected to participate in programs in the University’s Honors College. “These scholarships are crucial to providing access and opportunities that students need to thrive, especially students who are academically gifted yet from low-income families,” says Susan Dinan, director of the University’s
Honors College. “By defraying the cost of tuition, the Rummel scholarships allow students to devote more time to their courses and related academic pursuits, instead of working at a job or incurring debt by taking out loans.” The Fred C. Rummel Foundation has provided scholarship support to students in the University’s Honors College since academic year 1999-2000. This is the foundation’s thirteenth award to the program.
