About the Program

Rutgers Future Scholars (RFS) is the leading college access program that provides promising first-generation and low-income students with mentoring, tutoring, academic enrichment services, social and cultural experiences as well as general guidance and support. Based in New Jersey, we serve each community where Rutgers, The State University, has a campus location.
