2019 NJALL Scholarship Application Coming Soon

2/8/2019

 
The 2019 NJALL Scholarship Application will be posted on this website on March 1, 2019.  Adult educators, will you encourage your students to apply?
​On June 21st, NJALL will again host the Scholarship Award Ceremony and Breakfast to honor the winners of the 2019 NJALL Scholarship. This year, there will be even greater cause for celebration, because our 2014 Scholarship winner, Pasang Schreck, will be graduating from Georgian Court University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.

Having been born in Nepal, Pasang was eager to learn the language and ways of her new country. As a mother of two young sons, she started attending classes at the Freehold ABE/GED Program of Brookdale Community College. In describing her experience, she said, “Adapting to a different culture, overcoming my fears, learning to read, speak and think in a new language, juggling, family work and school, all while trying to absorb knowledge in so many different subjects were some of the difficulties I faced.”

With her passion for learning, hard work and supportive teachers, Pasang was eventually able to earn her high school diploma. She was not only successful, but represented her classmates as student speaker at her graduation.
Encouraged by her teacher, she applied for the 2014 NJALL Scholarship, in which she shared the story of her journey and her dreams for her future. Her application was chosen as one of the winners and Pasang took her next big step, becoming a college student at Brookdale Community College. Because her grades reflected her excellent effort and determination, Pasang was recruited by Georgian Court University (GCU) to enroll in their Nursing Program.
 
Pasang continues to shine at GCU, so much so that the GCU Meridian Nursing Honor Society selected her for a leadership position as Secretary for this prestigious association. This spring, she will complete her last semester and graduate, enabling her to launch her nursing career and realize her dreams of making a difference in her community. Pasang is truly a star! She will be the first NJALL Scholarship winner to receive the new $1000 bonus awarded to those who earn a Bachelor’s Degree.
If you are an adult student,
​you might become the next star!
