Rutgers Future Scholars
Rutgers Future Scholars
The Rutgers Future Scholars Program introduces economically disadvantaged, academically promising middle school students from Rutgers’ four host communities—New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark, and Camden—to the promise and opportunities of a college education.
Realizing the Possibilities
At Rutgers Future Scholars, we believe that access to higher education not only changes the lives of our students, but also has the power to change entire communities.
Each year, the Rutgers Future Scholars program offers 215 first-generation, low-income, academically promising middle school students from New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark, Camden and Rahway the opportunity for a college education.
In the summer before their 8th grade year, students become part of a unique pre-college culture of university programming, events, support, and mentoring that will continue through their high school years, and eventually college.
Students who successfully participate in the five-year program and are accepted into Rutgers University, will receive a tuition assistance scholarship, after all federal and state grant aid has been applied. In short, Rutgers Future Scholars offers hope, opportunity, and tuition scholarship. Check out our Summer Academy at RFS-Camden
