NEW JERSEY WITH STAR

 40+ YEARS of HOPE

 
providing K-12th grade scholarships
for financially-disadvantaged New Jersey students
to receive a safe, quality, values-based education.

FREEDOM

through education

By investing in the education of financially under-privileged children, Tri-County has discovered the antidote to multi-generational and systemic poverty.

 

Since 1981, Tri-County has awarded partial scholarships for K-12th grade. Our partner schools have offered discounted tuition and have provided safe, disciplined learning environments. Parents and families have sacrificed to provide the tuition balance and have remained invested in the process. This mutual cooperation has leveled the playing field for our scholarship recipients, providing game-changing opportunities and maximizing our student outcomes.
