Non-Profit - South Orange, NJ, US
NJAE is a scholarship and mentoring program located in South Orange, NJ. We combine scholarship with mentorship to successfully support and guide qualified students throughout their entire college experience. Founded by Malcolm and Tamara Robinson in 2004 and incorporated as a New Jersey non-profit in 2006, as a conduit to add to the number of college graduates from the communities served. The standards are high but the statistics prove beyond question the program is working! NJAE offers academic and monetary support to high school graduates entering a four year college or university. Because we firmly believe "Education is Key," we work to minimize the challenge of college affordability, changing dreams to realities. While we cannot entirely eliminate the financial challenges faced by students, our scholarships lessen the stress. Yes, we alleviate some of the financial concerns of students entering college. But – the REAL work is in helping those same students finish college, successfully completing a rigorous curriculum with a grade point average that makes them sought-after for graduate programs and/or employment opportunities in the competitive marketplace. The proof that our program works: The program retention rates have increased every year and with average retention rate of better than 75% and 100% of these students graduate. Twenty percent of students leaving the program go on to graduate as well. These numbers add to the overall increase in numbers of college graduates from households where income is at or below the poverty level! Our mentoring program supports their spirit. That's the NJAE difference.
