Partnerships through scholarships — either
through endowment or permanent gifts or for a term of years —
literally
change lives.
Over the last five years,
close to $2,000,000 has been awarded to more than 1,000
students. Every year the need increases. In addition,
approximately 90% of our students need some financial
support in the form of scholarships
or loans while also working full- or part-time.
Partners who have a keen understanding of the importance of scholarship assistance
are integral to the University’s ongoing ability to support talented individuals
as they pursue success in their professional, personal, and civic lives.

“Shortly before my freshman year of
college, my family suffered a devastating financial loss due to
severe flooding in our community. Just when I had given up on the idea
of attending college, William Paterson offered a ray of hope by granting
me a scholarship. My current and future successes are a direct result of
the generosity of graduates who support the Alumni Association. I feel
it is my responsibility to give today’s students access to the same
tools for success I received at William Paterson University.” —Michael L. Perry ’90
