Ramapough Munsee Indigenous Partnership Project Scholarship

During the 2021-22 academic year, and continuing into the summer of 2022, a task force composed of Ramapo faculty, staff, and students gathered to research the history of the College and the land it sits on, to explore the College’s relationship with the Ramapough Munsee Lenape Nation, and to provide guidance on how Ramapo College may acknowledge that history and strengthen the relationship.

On August 31, 2022, President Cindy Jebb, on behalf of the College, formally recognized Chief Dwaine Perry of the Ramapough Munsee Lenape Nation and the entire Ramapough Munsee Lenape Nation (past and present) and affirmed the College’s responsibility to acknowledge and honor its relationship with the Ramapough Munsee Lenape peoples.

The intent of this scholarship is to benefit a student involved in class or project work related to helping the Ramapough Munsee Indigenous people.
