Our Opportunities

Hi Roadrunners! Welcome to the Ramapo College Foundation Scholarship Opportunities Homepage.

The Ramapo College Foundation is committed to supporting students. During the 2023-24 academic year, 584 individual scholarships totaling more than $885,000 were awarded. These scholarships are made possible by generous benefactors based on a variety of criteria and are separate from the Ramapo College merit-based admission scholarships (ie. Presidential, Dean’s).

How to apply:

  • Log in using your Ramapo username and password
  • Complete a general application
  • After submitting the general application, you will be auto-matched to scholarships for which you meet the criteria. Auto-matching with a scholarship does not guarantee you will receive that scholarship.
  • You may also be presented with apply-to scholarship opportunities. Click on each scholarship opportunity and fill out the additional information to determine your eligibility. This may include supplementary essays, letters of recommendation, or other documentation.
  • To see the status of your apply-to applications, go to My Applications. Completed applications will have a “Submitted” status.
  • You can also utilize the “Search by Keyword” function to search for scholarships (ie. major, financial need, adult student, volunteer, leadership, first generation, etc.)
  • Outside (non-Ramapo) scholarship opportunities are viewable under Opportunities, External.

IMPORTANT INFO:

Each scholarship has a deadline. Please check the website frequently for new scholarships and deadlines. The majority of scholarships for academic year 24/25 will close on October 7, 2024 at midnight.
Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis throughout the academic year. If you are selected, you will see the award under My Applications and will receive an email to your ramapo.edu account.
Scholarships require acceptance documents including a thank you note/video to the donor. Awards may be rescinded if you do not provide required acceptance documents.
