NJHOF Arete Scholarship Award

Scholarship Description

The New Jersey Hall of Fame is proud to announce the renewal of the Arete Scholarship Fund. The Arete Scholarships will be awarded to a deserving male and female student from a New Jersey high school. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship from the New Jersey Hall of Fame (NJHOF).

The recipients of the Arête scholarship are young people who demonstrate that sense of Jersey pride and that willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. The successful applicants must demonstrate qualities such as academic engagement, moral character, and a commitment to their community. These recipients do not necessarily have to be at the very top of their school class from an academic standpoint, but should demonstrate a focus in school and life, and have a well-thought-out plan on how they intend to realize their highest sense of self: their Arête.
