Applications can be downloaded from our website. • A copy of your high school transcript including senior year third quarter grades.

  8. The NJAE Difference Unlike most scholarship programs, NJAE’s goal is not to just finance your education but to assist you in meeting the ultimate goal of completing a college education. Each student who enters the NJAE program is paired with a advisor for the duration of their collegiate experience. Students have found this academic advisement to be a key to their success in college. Since 2004 87% of students who have participated in one of NJAE’s scholarship programs have graduated from a four year college/university.

  9. Advisement with NJAE Students will meet with their advisor on campus on a regular basis. For freshmen, meetings are weekly; sophomores are bi-weekly, juniors are monthly, and seniors are on an as needed basis. NJAE’s advisement program is tailored to meet each student’s specific needs. By building a relationship built on trust and honest communication, students discover tools to help them succeed.

  10. Renewal Requirements for Current Students Scholarships are renewable each semester. Students must: Meet minimum GPA requirements for class year. Freshman – 2.75; Sophomores - 2.85; Juniors and Seniors - 3.0 Be attending either a four year college/university in the state of New Jersey or a four year historically black college/university. Be a recipient of a Pell Grant Must demonstrate a financial need of more than $1,500 per semester.

  11. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • How many students are accepted into the program? • We accept approximately twenty-five (25) freshmen into the program each year. • If accepted, will I have the chance to meet other students in the program? • You will meet other NJAE scholars during our Freshman Orientation program and also during our Annual Winter Reception. • What if I’m not going to a NJ school or an HBCU? • At this time, scholarships are only available to students attending a NJ four year college or a four year HBCU. We urge you to apply if you are considering either. • Am I required to have a certain major? • No. NJAE students have a variety of majors.

  12. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • Are NJAE scholarships renewable? • NJAE scholarships are renewable on a semester (fall/spring) basis for four years. • What if it takes me more than four years to complete my degree? • At this time, NJAE scholarships only cover four years of your college education. • Do I have to submit an application every time I renew my scholarship? • No. You will only submit required financial and academic documents. • What if I don’t make the requirements for renewal? • If you do not make the standards for renewal (ex. low GPA, lack of financial need), you will remain a part of the program but will not receive financial assistance. You will still receive academic advisement services. If you become eligible for an award at a later date, you will be considered for reinstatement.
