Scholarship Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The 200 Club of Sussex County is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to the dependents of law enforcement officers, firefighters, members of emergency medical first aid squads and members of emergency management, working (whether on a volunteer or paid basis) in Sussex County, New Jersey; and New Jersey State Police, who are residing or working in Sussex County (“Public Safety Personnel”). Part of the Club’s mission is to provide scholarships to dependent children of Public Safety Personnel as well as Sussex County residents who are pursuing college degrees in law enforcement or public safety.

Applicants will be judged on the basis of academic achievement, financial need, SAT or ACT scores, class standing and citizenship.

The Scholarship Committee of the Board of Trustees will coordinate the processing of all applications for review and selection. The Board of Trustees will ultimately approve the scholarship awards. Announcement of the awards will be made at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Payments will be made directly to the institution. Scholarships are renewable each year upon re-application, proof of academic eligibility and approval of the Scholarship Committee. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to discontinue the scholarship program at any time.
