Program
Overview: The Rutgers Future Scholars (RFS) Program is a five year pre-college
program that introduces first-generation, low-income and academically-talented
middle school students to the promise and opportunity of a college education.
Beginning in the summer preceding their 8th grade year, Future Scholars from
our four Rutgers host communities (New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark, and
Camden) take part in the Scholars Saturday Institute and the Summer Institute
tutoring, mentoring, academic enrichment, and college readiness workshops.
The program provides numerous hands-on learning opportunities for Future
Scholars to explore various majors and career interest while working with
university faculty, staff, and students. Rutgers Future Scholars who successfully
complete the program and are admitted to Rutgers University will receive
a scholarship covering the cost of their tuition for four years funded through
a range of grants, scholarships, and donations. The RFS Program is designed
to give the Future Scholars greater insight into the opportunities they have
available to them if they put forth hard work, focused efforts, and a commitment
to education. The Scholars Saturday Institute operates twice a month during
the academic year and the Summer Institute is an 8-12 day program for Future
Scholars during the month of July. The successful 7th grade applicants begin
the program’s Summer Institute the summer before they enter the 8th
grade. The Future Scholars participate in the program for five consecutive
years, until they enter their freshman year in college. For more information
