�鶹��ý partnered with other state public colleges and universities to offer a new program for New �鶹��ý college students currently attending school outside the state. The effort, titled the , allows students to seamlessly transfer to one of New �鶹��ý’s outstanding public universities like �鶹��ý, where they will benefit from in-state tuition benefits, guaranteed housing and take part in community-building volunteer activities.

As New �鶹��ý faces the challenges of rebuilding a devastated economy due to the coronavirus crisis, this initiative offers the 120,000 residents who attend higher education institutions outside of the state a unique incentive to return home and help rebuild.

“I’m so pleased to join with other New �鶹��ý public college and university presidents to launch the New �鶹��ý Scholar Corps initiative. This initiative helps New �鶹��ý students stay close to home with the people who matter most and eases their higher education financial burden with low in-state tuition rates,” says President Sue Henderson. “Just as importantly, many young people are wondering what they can do to help during the COVID-19 crisis and the New �鶹��ý Scholar Corps—much like the Peace Corps—is a powerful way to channel that energy for maximum impact. As an anchor institution for the �鶹��ý City community, this is an unprecedented opportunity for �鶹��ý to further strengthen our ties with local residents and organizations as we transition through this challenging time.”

The other participating institutions are Montclair State University, the New �鶹��ý Institute of Technology, Rowan University, Kean University, Ramapo College, Stockton University, The College of New �鶹��ý, Thomas Edison State University, and William Paterson University.
