NJM Insurance Group (NJM) has awarded the NJAC Foundation a grant of $5,250 for county vocational-technical school graduates who plan on continuing their education in New Jersey at a county college or state college or university.
“I’m grateful that NJM and the NJAC Foundation have once again partnered on this important and timely initiative to provide our county vocational-technical school graduates with generous scholarships that will assist students with meeting the ever-increasing financial demands of pursuing an education,” said NJAC Foundation President Donald De Leo.
The NJAC Foundation plans to distribute one $1,750 scholarship in each county where NJM maintains a corporate office, which includes Atlantic, Mercer, and Morris counties. Since 2014, NJM Insurance Group has awarded the NJAC Foundation grants totaling $41,750, which has helped over two dozen county vocational-technical school graduates continue their education at home in the Garden State.
“We are proud to support the NJAC Foundation and its efforts to provide continued educational opportunities for county vocational-technical school and county college students,” said Mike Van Wagner, Vice President, Public Affairs at NJM Insurance Group. “We commend NJAC for its continued commitment to the communities it serves, and for helping hardworking students advance their education in New Jersey.”
