Scholarships specifically for new first-year and transfer students
are awarded by the Office of University Undergraduate Admissions and
the Office of Financial Aid in consultation with the dean of the
college and specific committees, as appropriate. Application for
admission also serves as an application for these scholarships. For
more information, contact the Rutgers-Newark Office of Undergraduate Admissions (973-353-5205).

Selection for these scholarships is typically made directly by academic departments based solely upon student achievement within relevant programs.
