What are Scarlet Promise Grants?

Today, traditional funding sources often come up short. The financial burden of higher education falls more squarely on the student than it did in the past. Last year, Rutgers students had an unmet financial need of more than $100 million—an average of nearly $10,000 per student.

Scarlet Promise Grants are university-wide, need-based financial aid awards that help thousands of students across Rutgers each year. Ranging from $500 to $5,000, Scarlet Promise Grants help financially at-risk students afford tuition, purchase books, and they even provide help in emergency situations.

Your support this #GivingTuesday provides hope, and it empowers all students to fulfill their potential at Rutgers.
