New Jersey Scholars believes that it can use sports to lay the foundation for well adjusted, competitive and successful young adults. We are firm believers in the benefits of sports and can think of no better way to instill strong work ethic, team orientation, discipline, goal setting and many other positive characteristics. We believe our college attainment Ambassador Program will extend and amplify the benefits of our mission to many communities we serve across New Jersey and in the tri-state area.

 

As a part of the New Jersey Scholars mission, we use participation to promote academic performance, mental health and civic engagement. We operate on a need-blind basis so that all youth participants and families have access without regard to financial resources.

 

Many communities within our state and region deal with poverty, homelessness, under-resourced schools, and single parent families. We support players and families from many of these communities with assistance to address these issues.

 

Your contributions will make a real difference to many families and kids who are being uplifted by their common pursuit of excellence. Yes, basketball has and is making a real difference in many aspects of their lives. Scholar Elite is a 501c3 charitable organization.

 

 

NJ Scholars Academy needs to expand its capacity to better serve program participants (youth and families) and the underlying local communities. This presents a significant challenge that we intend to meet through fundraising and charitable contributions.
