(Trenton) Investors Bank through the Investors Foundation awarded the NJAC Foundation a grant of $21,000.00 for county vocational-technical school graduates who plan on continuing their education at a county college or state college or university.
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the NJAC Foundation, I’m thrilled that Investors has awarded the Foundation this generous grant; and, I look forward to working with our county vocational-technical schools in selecting scholarship winners committed to advancing their education in the great State of New Jersey” said NJAC Foundation President Heather Simmons.
