New Camden County College Programs Benefit High School Students, Local Businesses

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Camden County College Board of Trustees approved two new financial programs that will benefit high school students and local businesses during its meeting Tuesday night.

The Most Improved Camden County High School Student Scholarship reduces tuition for the winners by 50% for two years, college officials said Wednesday afternoon.

All public and private high schools in Camden County are eligible to submit one student for the scholarship each year.

Students who showed improvement in their academic or social lives while in high school are eligible.

The determination will be made by the guidance department at each high school.

“There are many scholarships available for students at the top of their class or students who demonstrate proficiency on a test or in a certain subject matter,” Camden County College President Don Borden said. “This scholarship values growth, and leaves it up to the teachers and staff to determine what that means for an individual student. We are proud to be the first college or university offering this type of scholarship to all high schools in Camden County.”

Additionally, the Camden County Regional Chamber of Commerce is now able to offer a new educational benefit through the Chamber Advantage program. Camden County College will reduce tuition by one-third for Chamber members and their employees.

“The long time partnership with Camden County College and the Chamber’s commitment to developing a strong work force has resulted in this collaborative offer for Chamber members,” Camden County Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Art Campbell said.
