Fellowships for Distinguished Students
The "Stockton Board of Trustees Fellowships for Distinguished Students" program was established by the Board of Trustees in April of 1986. It supports student-initiated projects of undergraduate research and/or creative work in keeping with the educational philosophy and mission of The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Fellowship awards in amounts up to $1,000 each are provided semi-annually contingent upon available funds.
