Johnson & Johnson to Provide Scholarships for Rutgers Students in Health-related Fields
As Rutgers launches a yearlong celebration of its 250th birthday, the university has received its first official gift to mark the occasion – a pledge of up to $50,000 from Rutgers’ longtime neighbor and partner, Johnson & Johnson, for student scholarships in health-care related fields.
Rutgers President Robert Barchi and Johnson & Johnson leaders announced the scholarship initiative during Tuesday’s kickoff ceremony for Rutgers 250, the celebration that culminates on Nov. 10, 2016 – the 250th anniversary of the birth of Queen’s College, the colonial institution that became Rutgers University. . .
