Scholarships

Scholarships can help to off set the cost of attending the university. Whether you choose to attend Rutgers University–Newark, another regional university at Rutgers, or a university outside of Rutgers, it is important to start thinking about scholarships early. Scholarships are a form of gift-aid that do not have to be repaid. Scholarships can be awarded to admitted and/or continuing students.

Even if you believe you will not be eligible for federal student aid and funding, you must file a FAFSA to be considered for a scholarship. Merit-based scholarships have a need-based component, and a FASFA must be on file to be considered and awarded.
