Solid Light Blue

College access is more than admission — it’s having the support to succeed once you arrive. Through two scholarship opportunities, United Way of Passaic County helps local students take the next step toward higher education with confidence.

These awards ease the financial burden of college-related expenses and honor students who demonstrate perseverance, leadership, and a commitment to their community. By investing in students today, we are building a stronger, more stable Passaic County for tomorrow.
