ABOUT OUR PROGRAM’S FUTURE SCHOLARS
Our NB/PWY Program
Rutgers Future Scholars New Brunswick & Piscataway compose of two of the five RFS programs across New Jersey. Each year we admit 100 promising students from the two school districts to join our transformative program, serving a total of 250 Scholars across cohorts in grades 8-12.
Future Scholars is part of a Rutgers initiative to ensure local students have access to earn their higher education with a promise of tuition aid and support. We provide academic assistance, college access mentoring, and college scholarship aid.
RFS New Brunswick & Piscataway provide opportunities for scholars to learn and explore their futures. Participating Scholars get the necessary resources to achieve academic success and opportunities to give back to the local community as well.
