Camden County College Students Receive $50,000 in Scholarships

Gloucester Township, NJ – A total of $50,000 in scholarships has been pledged to Camden County College students from the William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation for 2016, the college announced this week.

The foundation has pledged $350,000 in scholarships to the college since 2010, on top of this year’s scholarships. Over 100 students have benefited from the scholarships over the last two academic years.

The scholarships are awarded to outstanding incoming and graduating Camden County College students who meet residency, GPA and financial aid requirements.

One-thousand dollar scholarships are given to incoming students, and $2,500 scholarships are available for graduates.

Linda Rohrer, trustee of the William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation, met with this year’s recipients at the college on Tuesday.

Rohrer charged the students with working hard, and said she will continue to follow their progress long after they have left the college.

She said education meant a lot to her father, and this scholarship memorializes those values.
Camden County College President, Donald A. Borden, thanked Rohrer for her generous and continuing support of Camden County College students.

Borden also congratulated the students on their accomplishments and told them to study hard and use college resources to continue their connection to the college.

Camden County College’s Cherry Hill location is named after William G. Rohrer as well.
