BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Some of the 237 students who received scholarships from the Bergen Community College Foundation for the fall semester are listed below.
“By addressing the financial barriers to obtaining a college degree, the Bergen Community College Foundation helps students realize their dreams,” Foundation Board of Directors Char Dan Foley said. “I am sincerely grateful for the donors who make these dreams a reality.”
Donors contribute to the Foundation through one-time gifts, endowments and grants that support student scholarships, educational programs and special initiatives at Bergen.
More than 500 students applied for scholarships as part of the current awards cycle. Students apply by submitting information such as their program of study, GPA and essays. College faculty and staff volunteers evaluate student applications, score them and match the highest ranked entries with individual scholarship criteria outlined in the donor funds.
