Ruth Cornfield Scholarship

Additional Information

The Ruth Cornfield Scholarship was established for deserving students in the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media. Dr. Cornfield taught in the College for 15 years and many of her students went on to hold significant positions throughout New Jersey. The Educational Media Center prospered under Dr. Cornfield's guidance, and her work eventually laid the cornerstone for the present Media Center, which serves the entire University. When reviewing applications, financial need will be considered along with evidence of scholarship and commitment to the teaching profession.
