Scholarships
First we invite you to check out the Rutgers Center for Global Security and Democracy Scholarship for Global PACT participants. There are several scholarships awarded each summer. You can find more information on our website or by clicking here for the $750 Scholarships Available.
Databases - these usually involve filling out questionnaires, and take some time to go through, but because they offer so many scholarship opportunities it may be worth the effort.
