September 11th Memorial Scholarships |
Eligibility and How to ApplyIn response to the devastating attack on our nation on September 11, 2001, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has established the September 11th Memorial Scholarships for the dependent children of New Jersey residents who lost their lives in this catastrophe.Some dependent children are infants. Others are now enrolled in college. The promise is the same. Rutgers will provide undergraduate scholarships to dependent children of New Jersey residents who died as a direct result of the terrorist acts at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon or in the airplane crash in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. This financial support will be available for any undergraduate college or school on the New Brunswick, Newark or Camden campuses to which the individual applies and is admitted. Applicants must comply with the standard application and admission requirements. Currently enrolled students at Rutgers or applicants should forward a letter with appropriate documentation to the Director of Funds Management, Rutgers Office of Financial Aid, 620 George St., New Brunswick, NJ 08901. Documentation should comprise copies of the following three items: the victim’s death certificate, the victim’s 2000 New Jersey resident Income Tax return showing that the student or applicant is a dependent, and the student’s or applicant’s birth certificate. Caretakers of children of victims who may want to attend Rutgers in the future should keep a file of documentation (victim’s death certificate and 2000 New Jersey resident Income Tax return and child’s birth certificate) for use at the time of application. Following admission to the university, individuals should identify themselves as eligible for the scholarship by forwarding a letter with copies of the documentation to the Director of Funds Management, Rutgers Office of Financial Aid, 620 George St., New Brunswick, NJ 08901. The scholarship will be initially awarded for one year and will be renewed annually if the student makes satisfactory academic progress consistent with university standards. The scholarship, designed to assist in meeting the Rutgers cost of education, is adjusted annually to equal the cost of in-state tuition. The Rutgers Office of Financial Aid will assist students and families in the application process to secure additional federal and state aid.
