“I am so grateful that I can attend an institution this precious with this much financial support,伊桑·加西亚说, a junior at Bloomfield College of 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 who is double majoring in Creative 艺术 and Technology and 业务 Administration and serves in multiple campus leadership positions.

“I thank you all as donors for your continuous support of Bloomfield and Montclair and for believing in our school’s mission to serve students like me,加西亚说。. “没有你的帮助，我不会有今天的成就.”

“Receiving scholarships during my time at Montclair took a weight off my shoulders and allowed me to live on campus,阿拉克利·卡布雷霍说, a senior who majored in Accounting and will be attending graduate school in the fall.

“Being able to live on campus opened other opportunities for me to learn and grow as a leader. I wouldn’t have been able to experience this without scholarship support, so I thank you as generous donors for making opportunities like this possible and enhancing so many students’ lives,卡布雷霍说.
